The Wheels & Waves The photographer discovered in 2016 the international festival of vintage motorcycles: the Wheels & Waves. Unclassifiable, iconic and unmissable this festival is now a reference for lovers of mechanics, freedom and style. As usual, the photographer captures the essence of this gathering and the magazine VSD publishes three years in a row his reports, thus contributing to the discovery of the general public this unusual event. A three-volume catalog was published in 2019 looking back at the 2017 to 2019 editions of Wheels & Waves. Passionate about this universe, François Darmigny goes to the Normandy Beach Race and The Old Race to immortalize exceptional moments. A book on these festivals will be published at the end of 2023.
Biography of François Darmigny After following international news and major sporting events, and covering the wars in Lebanon and Afghanistan, François Darmigny became a freelance photographer in the mid-90s, feeling the need to explore a new photographic universe more in line with his own conception of the image. He decided « not to undergo the action but to create it. His universe: to capture and immortalize emotions, personalities, attitudes and characters by giving them an artistic dimension and a soul. His motto: put the human being at the heart of the image. His daily life is only photo… His photographic language is black and white. Because even if color sometimes invites itself in his camera, it is above all in black and white that François Darmigny likes to stage life and make people moving, by their charm, their emotion or their spontaneity but always trying to « leave them as natural as possible and to make their look the most essential thing to capture ». He is also one of the last photographers to use amazing and rare photographic cameras. His favorites are a Philips & Sons and a Deardoff from the 1930s. Sportsmen, actors, TV hosts, models, personalities of the arts and entertainment, nobody escapes his his lens. It is for them and for photographers from all over the world that François created in 2006, in association with his wife and agent Stefany Klein, a magnificent photographic studio in the heart of Paris that he dedicates to them: Eight By Ten Studio, a wink, echoing his favorite format of 20 X 25 (8 X 10 inches). François Darmigny has also published books: « Eight by Ten, » 142 pages of black and white and sepia portraits, a report on the prima ballerina Aurélie Dupont at the Paris Opera, « Métamorphoses: Made in Paris, » 132 pages on the world of drag queens, gothic artists and metamorphosis in general, a 3-volume box set on the Wheels and Waves and a book on the volumes on Wheels and Waves and other publications are being prepared for the end of 2023, in particular a book on the vintage motorcycle universe « The MOTORCYCLE BOY » published by HEMERIA.
This exhibition is part of the 5th edition of the event Un marchand, un artiste organized with the Marché Biron: the merchants present an artist of their choice in their stands.
