[ francois paufique ]'s photostream

French, settled in Jakarta -Indonesia-.
I came to Jakarta in January 2006. About to celebrate my 5th birthday as a Jakartanese.

I am a self-taught photographer.

At first, I got more interested in contemporary painting than photography, so my first steps, when shooting, were based on framing and two-dimensional approaches.
Later, I started to understand more about movement, image-depth and elements of tension beyond the frame. All these quickly became major interests and directions.

----

For personal stuff, mostly shoot with Medium Format, mostly use Ilford HP5 B&W and Velvia colour slides, mostly shoot with Mamiya 7-II, mostly interested in urban content, work both on photographic documents and graphic works.
Several monographic exhibitions held in Paris and Jakarta. Exhibitions under construction.
Established as a commercial photographer in Jakarta.
For commercial assignments, mostly shoot with Nikon and vintage non-CPU lenses. Also shoot with Sinar digital back and HasselBlad.

If You like some of my shots and You have a way to display or exhibit them, feel free to contact me. I am willing to spend more time on this in 2011 -in Asia and Europe, first-.

Cheers.
