ENGLISH. I live in Paris, France. I used to learn things about art and communication. Then I used to work in communication. I have been doing photographs as an amateur (and not only for family or touristic purposes) since the middle of the 1990s. I started using Flickr in March 2005.
Most of my photos are logically taken in Paris. But each trip I make, each new place I discover is an occasion to use my little camera (Canon G9). You won't find many portraits in my public photostream. I'd rather fill it with some conceptual or insolite views, and also with some studies of composition (a permanent obsession of mine), color and/or light. Your comments and ideas are more than welcome: my pictures are published here to get them.
For image users: I always shoot in RAW format (4000x3000 px), but most of my pictures are only available here on low definition. The rights linked to my low def versions are not always the same ones. Please have a look on the rights mentionned under each specific photo or contact me by mail for further information. The Creative Commons rights indicated next to a picture apply only for low-def versions as published on Flickr.

FRANÇAIS/FRENCH. Je vis en France, à Paris. Ancien étudiant en art et en communication, ancien communiquant professionnel. Je pratique la photographie en amateur (en dehors des classiques photos touristiques ou de famille) depuis le milieu des années 1990. J'ai commencé à utiliser Flickr en mars 2005.
C'est logiquement à Paris que je prends la plupart de mes photos. Toutefois, les voyages que je fais occasionnellement sont toujours l'occasion de sortir mon appareil de son étui. Dans la partie publique de mon photoblog Flickr, vous verrez bien peu de portraits. Mes thèmes de prédilection sont variables: images "conceptuelles" ou insolites, ou recherches plus formelles en composition (une obsession chez moi), couleur, lumière, à la ville comme à la campagne. Vos commentaires sont plus que bienvenus, mes images sont principalement publiées ici pour les recevoir.
Comme les appareils de type reflex sont un peu encombrants et que j'aime bien avoir toujours ou presque un appareil sur moi, j'utilise pour l'instant un Canon G9.
Pour les utilisateurs d'images: je prends toutes mes photos au format RAW (4000x3000 px), mais elles ne sont disponibles sur Flickr qu'en basse définition. Les droits associés à l'utilisation de mes images sont variables (les licences Creative Commons utilisées ne s'appliquent qu'aux versions basse définition), veuillez consulter les informations relatives à la photographie qui vous intéresse. Vous pouvez aussi me contacter par mail.

french-chinese-universe says:
"The first time that I discovered Mainblanche's photos, I was impressed by his creative and unusual way to see Paris. His Paris is different from the tourists' Paris, it's about a daily life's Paris, but full of suprises! Among the photos of different photographers, I can quickly recongnize his style, because his pictures are not only beautiful to see, but also interesting to think over! His photos invite you to see Paris with independant mind and sweet heart! So welcome to visit his world of vision."
