"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams ... glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost ... in time, like tears ... in rain. Time ... to die."
Roy Batty, Nexus 6, Blade Runner.

-- Short bio --
Christophe Dessaigne is a French artist who lives in the south of France, in a small town called Perpignan, near Spain on the Mediterranean coast. His creations are open doors to fantastic and dreamy horizons where digital photography serves the fanciful imagery of surrealist photomontages. His universes are desolate, vast and insubstantial. Gigantic scaled structures rule the landscapes, dwarfing human beings to the size of ants. His post-apocalyptic kingdoms, equally poetic and terrifying, are visions of the end of the world. His work has appeared in cover art book and CD covers in Europe, and has recently been featured in Advanced Creations and PSD Phoshop Magazine. His photographic visions are invitations to remote and chimeric territories. A travel into a mysterious journey.

    "In the immense pool of talent here on Flickr and on the WWW for that matter, Midnight Digital (Chris) is part of the cream that rises to the top.
    His work has a powerful impact and at the same time an under stated elegance and refined touch that leaves the visual palette drenched...
    Fantastic work to which anyone would wish to aspire."

I always wonder "HOW IN THE WORLD does he think/execute these images??" The concepts, ideas, locations, photography, and editing are superb.

    THE GUY IS A GENIUS!"

    And even more amazing seeing it printed on paper, so I would really recommend that for the respect of his work you to get a copy of his book.

    Thanks for sharing these pieces of your imagination with us!"

    "Mr. Digital (aka Chris) is, in my humble opinion, a legitimately ground-breaking artist and one of my enduring favorites here on Flickr or anywhere else within the crazy universe of photography and digital manipulation. His aesthetic is strong and unmistakable, his creations seamless, deep, and soulful - visual manifestations of the unspoken and unconsidered (inspired, on many occasions, by the lyrics of some classic tunes). They always have a tale to tell, and I feel privileged to be here so that I can take it all in. I would call him an "inspiration," but the fact is that I don't have the slightest idea of where to begin in crafting the kind of alternate reality dreamscapes which he does with such acumen and elegance. What I can say is that his images make me think and feel, and consider new possibilities, which should, of course, be the guiding mission of any serious artistic endeavor in the first place. There is always an intellectual and emotional journey to be embarked upon in his work; I look forward to it with each one of his new posts in my Contacts' Photos. A powerful, original, necessary creative voice within the Flickr community. I'm most grateful to have happened upon his work."

His works are awe inspiring Dramatic - Cinematic - and as good as any in a Hollywood movie. I always look forward to seeing what he conjures up next - knowing it will make me pause - take note - and enjoy the masterful artistry that is Midnight-digital."

    "Although I have just recently fell into Midnight-digital's stream, I can honestly say that I am already hooked! His creativity and vivid imagery ensnares his viewers to keep watching to see where his "movie" will take us next. The lone "little man" who braves new worlds and enables us to become a part of that reality.
    The term "photomanipulation" is often used, but I just say it is his ART, for Chris is truly an artist! I look forward to following the little man on his next adventure. :oP"

Through his lens we are lucky enough to get to walk a lonely mile in his fallout-encrusted shoes ..."

    "Chris is consistenly one of the most creative photographers on Flickr...unlike many photographers who take only mediocre images in the field and make them "interesting" through over-processing after the fact, Chris has first-rate skills both behind the camera AND in the digital darkroom. he seems to find some of the most compelling abandonments in Europe to photograph, and his staged "Post-Atomic" & "Mister Disaster" shots are almost all masterpieces. So..stop reading this and go check his stream! :-)"

    After Dark Photo says:

    "Its funny how in a community as large as Flickr you can bump into people that have similar tastes by complete accident. Chris is an excellent photographer and I literally clciked a wrong button one night and found his page.. His shoots are always creative and imaginative. Its tough to do something that has never been done before and in some of his crime scene sets and gas mask experiments he has created a technical, interesting, and uniquely styled shot that screams his and his alone.

    I usually look at his newly posted shots with envy. I can't believe how diverse and talented he is. I think he is on of my three favorite photographers on Flickr and his willingness to comment and interact rather than only take and receive is commendable.

    I hope you take some time to look around. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised...and don't be scared of the dark...Chris isn't."

    "I am honored to be the first to write a testimonal about Chris. His photos are magical and always very thought-provoking. His Flickr name, Midnight-digital is a perfect description of his style--like his profile says, he loves to shoot at night in decayed/abandoned places. I have to repeat what I wrote to Chris in an email: he is so amazingly talented and his photos are always exciting and innovative. I am in awe of his creativity. He is like a magician, always pulling something amazing out of his sleeve. More importantly, he is the kindest Flickr friend who always comments on my work (no matter how boring the photo may be) which I sincerely appreciate.

    Take a look at Midnight-digital's photos, you will not be disappointed!"
