Sophie Delaporte stages colorful shapes in nature. Photographed in the last rays of the sun, the bright and menacing colors of plastic contrast with the infinitely more subtle and nuanced colors of the sea, sky, or wheat field.
In response to the call for entries for the first edition of the Grand Prix Photography & Sustainability, this work reminds us of the serious and dangerous impact of certain industries on the environment and the need for society to reinvent itself today.
Nourished by the surrealists, Sophie Delaporte likes to overturn codes. She plays with shapes and colors. We see her as a fashion photographer but she speaks about women and their place in society, she explores landscapes and our fragile relationships with the environment; color is her language.
« Trying to address certain environmental issues through images was a difficult but very enjoyable challenge. It allowed me to invent new forms, by refocusing on what has always been at the heart of my photographic work: color, and the search for a certain form of Poetic Abstraction. »
