Alain Laboile lebt mit seiner Familie in einem kleinen Dorf im Südwesten Frankreichs. Ursprünglich Bildhauer, kaufte er seine erste Kamera vor wenigen Jahren, um seine Skulpturen festzuhalten. Unwillkürlich gerieten jedoch seine sechs Kinder und deren freier, wilder Lebensstil rund um Haus und Garten in den Fokus. Laboile kann als Naturtalent der Fotografie bezeichnet werden. Seine Bilder zeigen die Ungezwungenheit des kindlichen Spiels und sind emotional vielschichtig. Wie kein Zweiter versteht er es, ihre Interaktion einzufangen und genau im richtigen Moment den Auslöser zu betätigen. Ohne Zweifel können die Aufnahmen Laboiles, die den psychologisch entscheidenden Moment einfangen, mit den Werken der großen fran- zösischen Fotografen Jacques Henri Lartigue und Cartier Bresson verglichen werden. Seine Arbeiten bestimmen einen neuen Standard der Fotografie, die sich mit dem Leben von Kindern auseinandersetzt. Alain Laboiles Fotografien werden von einer ständigen wachsenden internationalen Fangemeinde geradezu euphorisch aufgenommen. Jock Sturges erwarb einen B.A. in Wahrnehmungspsychologie und Fotografie des Marlboro College in Vermont und einen M.F.A. des San Francisco Art Institute. Er hatte zahlreiche Ausstellungen in den Vereinigten Staaten, Frankreich und Japan. Seine Bilder sind in der Sammlung des Museum of Modern Art und dem Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York ausgestellt, ebenso in der Biblioth que Nationale in Paris. Dies ist sein erstes Buch in Deutschland. Alain Laboile resides with his family in a village in the southwest of France. A sculptor by trade, he acquired his first camera only a few years ago. But soon his six children and their natural and uninhibited lifestyle came to dominate his camera's attention: "Through my photographic work I celebrate and document my family life: a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. Though my work is deeply personal, it is also accessible, addressing human nature and allowing the viewer to enter my world and reflect on their own childhoods." Born on May 1, 1968 in Bordeaux, France, Alain Laboile is a photographer and father of six. In 2004, as he needed to put together a portfolio of his work as a sculptor, he acquired a camera, and thus developped a taste for macrophotography, spurred by his passion for entomology. Later on, he pointed his lens towards his growing family which became his major subject : a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. Jock Sturges is a fine art photographer living in Seattle, Washington in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Best known for his nudes and extended portraits of families in Northern California counter-culture communities, Ireland and on French naturist beaches, his large format images borrow significantly from classical periods in both photography and nineteenth and early twentieth century painting. Represented by 26 galleries in ten countries, Mr. Sturges work is also to be found in the collection of many of the world s museums including The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and The Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art in Germany.
