Emile Luider has a particularly strong graphic style. Often people are just an accent in their environment. Fascinated by the diversity of our planet, he catches the visual wealth, playing with shape and light to raise a kaleidoscope of faces and landscapes. For Emile the shooting is essential, and the postproduction is reduced to minimal adjustments: “The world is so rich, beautiful, interesting, weird. Why change it? The most important thing is to develop your capacity, your sensibilty to see this world around you, select the items which personally intrigue you, and translate them in your personal art”.
