About this photograph :
Blondies billboards
“The huge billboards on the walls of the Manhattan buildings are an integral part of New York’s urban landscape. They contribute to the impression of the city’s immensity and its aspect of constant change. Whilst walking along Houston Street, in Soho, I was immediately taken aback by these two immense blondes and the contrast formed with the small windows and the building’s fire escapes. The choice of black and white reinforces this contrast and almost gives the impression that these girls are alive.” GG
About the artist :
Guillaume
Gaudet
Born in Versailles in 1969, Guillaume Gaudet developed a taste for travel and the discovery of new cultures during his childhood, which he spent living in several foreign countries, notably in Spain, Argentina and Germany. After a career in public relations in Paris, he joined his wife in New York in 2006. On arrival, he fell in love with this bustling city. As someone who has always been fascinated by photography, the urban landscape and the melting pot atmosphere of the Big Apple is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for him. New York is his favoured playground, where he does not tire of photographing the smallest detail. Through light, architecture or a life scene, in each of his photos he tries to capture a small part of the city’s soul and energy.
