Open your eyes, the journey begins.

Through my photography, I aim to capture fleeting moments that appear naturally, right when they are meant to be seen. My images, in high-contrast black and white or in color, tell the story of my travels and everyday life.

My photographs have been taken in France, Sicily, Greece, Scotland, Thailand, Laos and Egypt. I enjoy playing with contrasts, light and shadow, city and nature, the small and the grand, to create images that move and provoke reflection.

My goal is to invite the viewer into the image, to pause, reflect, and take a moment for themselves. Each photograph is intended to offer a moment of calm and contemplation.

Photographer’s note: for black and white prints, I recommend matte paper, which gives a charcoal-like effect and enhances depth. For color prints, especially those featuring water, rock, or reflective surfaces, glossy paper best brings out the light and textures.

Kind regards,

Jean-Baptiste Collet
