Fabrice NICIEJA
- PHOTOGRAPHE -I was born in 1974 in the north of France.

It is rather late, in 2002, that photography began to take an important place in my life. I already practiced a bit before, but mostly to bring back memories. Then, motivated by my friends and impressed by the photo of Philippe Plisson, this hobby became a passion, full of pleasures, meetings and sharing.

Lovers of the Sea and Men who live by the sea, I travel the French coast with the idea of inventorying this environment that changes rapidly. Located in La Rochelle, I remain deeply committed to Brittany where I lived.

I am a strong supporter of digital which allowed me to quickly learn the basic techniques. It is also a medium that allow rapid brodcast as my work in manly visible on the Internet. On the field I work primarily with a telephoto. And since 2007, I also use a medium format 635 yashica. This is another rendering and another approach that has its charm.

All my pictures are retouched (cropping, modification of the histogram, color correction, saturation, contrast, suppression by camouflage) in Photoshop or Lightroom.

The sea is a big part of my life and is the essential element of my balance.

From the sea I come.
At the sea I find myself.
In front of the sea I want to leave this life.

This series is an intimate vision of this relationship by the association of the photo and text, the photo provoking the text and vice versa.
