Marée basse de nuit. (2018) Photography by Michel Babkine

Michel Babkine has always been a photography lover, film then digital. Freed from administrative affairs, since then he has freely practiced photographic creation. He plans to become a photographer.

He particularly addresses the themes of the city, urban landscapes, everyday life as well as the themes of the sea and nature with which he maintains close contact. His work favors the search for light in all its forms. In his work, the light is retained, reflected by the objects. It is nocturnal, the light can then take on a black form. It is diurnal. It can be natural or artificial, multicolored or monochrome depending on the proposed treatment.

Michel Babkine lives between Paris where he still lives and the bay of Douarnenez where he resides. He contributed to a Photographic book entitled "Sentinelle des mers", in relation to his maritime profession, published in 2012 by Ouest France editions. He also produced an exhibition hosted by the cultural cooperative Ys Blue, entitled "the lights of Douarnenez" in 2019 and 2020.
