Like Paris, where I live, New York is one of the most photographed cities in the world. Creating an original photo series, without this originality depending solely on the infrared rendering of which I am the specialist, was therefore a major challenge. That I tried to take in 15 days of photo reportage in New York. 

The main objective was to offer points of view as varied as they are original, by including as much as possible nature in the frame. Even though Central Park ranks at the top of the city’s iconic places, nature in New York is not limited to its 340 hectares planted in the middle of Manhattan.

So I had to take a step back to go beyond easy compositions, and do real research around natural locations. And thus justify the use of the infrared technique, which beyond the simple pictorial aspect marks the vegetation to raise it to the same level as the skyscrapers in my images.

However, I sometimes enjoyed just focusing on urban areas or human activity rather than on nature, to accentuate the contrast of scale and remind how New York retains its power of attraction intact.
