"Experienced vs experimenting", black and white analog photograph, 2018. During my photo documentary NOTIFICATIONS (French version only), I asked random people in the street questions about the impact of new technologies on our social relationships. This grandpa told me about his connection with his grand-daughter and the importance of sharing moments like this rollerskating afternoon at the park. "No technology will ever replace this he said. He didn't want me to take any pictures of him or her so I shot their feet instead, as it was telling the whole story by itself: their connection, the context and the contrast between them.

Who am I?
I am Jerome Poulalier, a 35-year-old French photographer based in Lyon (FR), working worldwide (mostly Middle East, USA and Europe). Eight years ago after receiving the prize from the Nicolas Hulot Foundation, awarded by PHOTO magazine, I made photography my full time job and since then have worked on numerous photo projects. For the past few years, my work and my artistic research has revolved around two dynamics: humans and their environment.
