Sandy Shores and Shadowed Wings

  • Photographer
    Jean-Marc Bara

While standing on the pier on Coney Island, New York City, I saw the shadows of a man, his bicycle, and me on the sand. Then, a bird and its shadow flew and completed the composition.

Jean-Marc's friends describe him as an organized individual with a passion for order. To him, photography is more than an art form—it's also a tool for understanding, structuring, and simplifying the world around him. In his street photography, Jean-Marc enjoys capturing candid moments that are interesting, funny, or ambiguous, keeping in a formal and aesthetically pleasing frame. He likes American photographer Alec Soth’s wording of the key ingredients: Light, Moment, and Magic. While street photography remains his central focus, Jean-Marc's work also expands to other genres.
