About this photograph :
Un regard derrière la vitre
“When you go to the centre of Times Square for the first time, you are overwhelmed by an explosion of colours, advertisements, luminescent screens as well as a constant flood of vehicles and people. The crossroads of Broadway and Seventh Avenue has been quite rightly nicknamed the ‘Crossroads of the World.’ In contrast to some photographs, taken with a wide angled lens to bring out the excessive size of the location, I have favoured close-up shots, to closely express the unique sensations that are felt when crossing the Broadway crossroads on foot. In this incessant turmoil, my attention was drawn to the taxi driver’s gaze through the window, drowned by the reflections of the neon lights from the advertisements.” 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.
