Large Django
(France)My name is Django Large and I am a portrait photographer. I have ASD (autism spectrum disorder) and social anxiety, which sometimes makes it difficult for me to communicate with others. Photography is my greatest passion and my way of expressing myself. I like to make each of my portraits a real painting, with a special attention to light. I also try to capture the essence and emotion of each of my subjects, respecting their own personality and uniqueness.
ConnectThe Masters of Time
This project aims to enhance the work of craftsmen who perpetuate ancestral skills and who are threatened by globalization and industrialization. It entails creating original works that combine photography, renaissance painting and modern cinema, in an artistic and patrimonial approach.
We will work with 8 craftsmen, creating with each one a photographic painting that will capture the craftsman in full action, in a staging inspired by the great masters of painting, and a video showing the process of creation and the technical gestures of the craft.
Blending the artistic codes of chiaroscuro in painting and modern cinema would be a poetic way for this project to pay a tribute to these craftsmen and their unique know-how, as well as to make them known to a wider public and to contribute to preserve their cultural heritage.
