I'm a french photographer born in 1974, in Brittany

Alan Aubrys photographic behavior tries to answer with rigour a commitment taken during the last years of his studies.

It is during these years , in the fine arts college of Rouen (France), that Alan Aubry turned towards photography.

During his course , he discovered the work of Charles Marville, Eugne Atget and the american movements notably the New Topography which will mark him profoundly.

At the end of his studies, he realized meticulous images of fictitious landscapes and imaginary adventures (unknown rockclimbing, world tour, lost cities, etc.)

With the desire to investigate another world , he leaves the field of fiction for the one of objectivity and, in the style of a geologist, photographs the urban modifications revealed by construction sites.

Photographing first of all in a instinctive way, Alan Aubry structures bit by bit his artistic method by applying precise protocols - frontality, serial work - and by dedicating himself to the observation of the daily world in his construction and his stage setting.
