An image rendering a complete view in a ball. This is the authenticity of the workEric Engalbert. Until March 20, this photographer is showing about twenty of his works in Center for Musical Expressions (CEM) in Le Havre.
It was during the confinement that Eric Engalbert imagined “inner planets”. He made the first attempts at home by photographing his residence. Its goal is to go beyond the simple framework. “When we take pictures of landscapes, we never show the atmosphere because we can’t put everything down,” Regret the artist. To immortalize entire scenes, Eric Engalbert decided to use 360-degree technology.
About twenty frames are needed to get the image that will become “inner planet”. After the shots, the photographer sits in front of his computer for the final touch. “All these images are put together and we get a 360-degree panorama”, Eric Engalbert explains. The software then distorts these shots to get a spherical action. “I can change things, in one direction, in the other. I am the one who gives meaning to my image”, Artist adds.

In past hiatus, the photographer wanted to explore his technology in new places. He went with his camera to the artists’ studios. “We are in a kind of strange intimacy, the lens just shows everything that can be seen. The curves and shapes also give a fantastical landscape. The circle also makes one think of a sanctuary, a nest”, Its author explains.
Multidisciplinary artist Eric Engalbert throughout his career worked on the image in all its forms. After studying architecture, he held his first photography exhibitions in the 1970s in Le Havre, Evreux, Rouen and then in Paris. Since 1976, he has abandoned photography for drawing: comics, game pages and illustrations for young people. Works especially for Milan, Nathan and Hachette.
His drawings are also published in columns education worldThe Point Based on Express. In the early 2000s, he returned to his first love with the rise of digital technology. Today, he is a graphic designer, photographer, website manager and art director at the same time. Now he dreams of an exhibition where the visitor can immerse themselves in the picture thanks to a virtual reality helmet.
