Look at what others do not see, what moves me and does not touch them.

Jacques Jégo is an architect and a professional photographer with a purist and minimalist spirit, viscerally esthete, who tends towards abstraction. He uses his curious eye to satisfy his appetite for the beautiful, the rare, the original, with a particular affinity for detail, the chosen piece. His true photography, entirely taken in natural light, is never presented without respecting the proportions of the original format, without cropping or retouching.

Boats and ports, port wastelands and abandoned factories, demolition sites, containers and dumpsters, tags and torn posters, contemporary architecture, horses and animals are among his favorite subjects.

Jacques Jégo was born in Brittany (France). He now resides in Alsace (France). Besides Strasbourg, he works mainly in Sète, but also in Paris, Antibes and Brittany. He began photography in 1962, alongside his studies as an architect, completely self-taught. He has exhibited in numerous galleries, including Dock Sud in Sète (France), which devoted a personal exhibition to him in 2010.
