Gaston Bertin is a photographer searching for things that do not exist, through light and color he intends to trigger
emotions and feelings. His images are photographs of hand made paper constructions that he creates while he takes his pictures. Gaston Bertin plays with light, focus, depth of field and perspective, and stays away from computer generated manipulations. Until recently he shot negative film and he did his own printing. Now he works digitally, his methodology has not changed, his camera remains his main tool. “I take pictures to see what I saw. To create a future to an immediate satisfaction. I think about space, I take pictures of time. Diffused light eliminates matter. I love almost silence.”Gaston Bertin.
