When the glance is focused on the couples and families, should it be pushed back?
Meet up with Sabine and Mickael who have chosen to immortalise and glorify our great capacity to love tanks to the photo story!

Between the tragedy and the picturesque one, Sabine and Mickael Bougouin found a territory as little exploited by the image as it is universal in literature: love. Their work gives a rather optimistic image of humanity. With counter-current of the photojournalism which denounces, their route shows with accuracy that the shared or opposed love remains under all the latitudes a subject of topicality, even of eternity. Because before between-committing suicide, suffering and to die, humanity likes, she only thinks of liking and they is even thanks to leaning natural that she renews herself and survives.

Leaving for a trip around the world, these photojournalists will be on the look - out for special moments, privacy, laughs. To date, Sabine and Mickael Bougouin traversed 10 countries and offer an at the same time singular and plural vision of the World.

Partnership with reporters:

Reza - He followed the path of an extraordinary destiny. Today, his work can be seen in the best international publications like Time Magazine, Stern, Paris-Match, Géo. He has also been working for National Geographic Magazine since 1990. He strongly fights against ignorance and qualifies himself as a “witness of History, a craft man who chose the camera as a tool” which is at the same time his pen, his ink and his alphabet. He humanly considers the troubles in the world, the pains and joys of people he meets.

Frédéric Sautereau - Frédéric Sautereau’s attentive eyes are turned on anything producing  breakings. For example, walls which divide in “Des Murs et des Vies” (“Walls and lives”), prize-winning at the festival Visa pour l’Image in Perpignan or “Lisières d’Europe” (“Edges of Europe”) co-produced with the journalist Guy-Pierre Chaumette.

Bernard Le Bars - Bernard Le Bars, from the Contact Presse Image agency has worked on an impressive testimony relating the recovery of Erik Vautier, who has been heavily burnt. It is a extraordinary human story and an unforgettable lesson about life. He uses pictures which are all worthy of interest, intense and discreet at the same time in order to give force and emotion to his work.
