D'objectif en objectif - Jack Curran
Aujourd’hui, je vous présente un photographe passionné de paysages en noir et blanc : Jack Curran.
Il s’agit d’une organisation à but non lucratif qui offre une éducation expérientielle. Son but est d’aider les individus à découvrir des forces dont ils ignoraient l’existence et d’accroître leur confiance en soi. Dans des milieux sauvages, les participants découvrent qu’ils peuvent faire plus que ce qu’ils pensaient pouvoir faire.
Un professeur décela très vite sa passion à explorer à travers l’objectif et à traduire la magie d’un tirage au développement du film et le poussa à aller plus loin. Jack Curran sut enfin quelle direction donner à sa vie, bien décidé à lier son amour du plein air, né de son séjour à Outward Bound à sa nouvelle passion pour la photographie.
Les photos de Jack Curran, exclusivement en noir et blanc — car la photo couleur ne lui convient pas — reflètent son amour et son respect pour la nature.
Photographe lauréat de nombreux Prix, édité dans de nombreux magazines et ayant exposé à plusieurs reprises, Jack Curran n’hésite pas à faire don ses photos à des causes importantes qui aident notre planète et les personnes dans le besoin.
Je pense que la photographie en noir et blanc offre une unité esthétique et permet de mettre en valeur les lumières et les ombres. Les photographies de Jack Curran me donnent envie d’explorer cet univers.

At age 16, after a complicated adolescence, his parents sent him to follow the program of the Outward Bound structure.
It is a non-profit organization that offers experiential education. Its purpose is to help individuals discover forces they did not know existed and to increase their self-confidence. In wild environments, participants discover that they can do more than they thought they could do.
If Jack Curran came back from OutwardBound with a different vision of life, he gradually resumed his bad habits, until he reached the bottom when he was 18 years old. That’s what made him change his life.
Shortly after celebrating his 19th birthday, Jack enrolled in a university course entitled « Introduction to Black and White Photography 101 ». What he thought was an easy way to get a good rating became a passion when he saw the first picture appear in the darkroom.
A teacher quickly discovered his passion to explore through the lens and to translate the magic of a draw to the development of the film and pushed him to go further. Jack Curran finally knew what direction to give his life, determined to link his love of the outdoors, born from his stay at Outward Bound to his new passion for photography.
The photos of Jack Curran, exclusively in black and white – because the color photo doesn’t suit him – reflect his love and respect for nature.
A prize-winning photographer, published in numerous magazines and exposed several times, Jack Curran doesn’t hesitate to donate his photos to important causes that help our planet and those in need.
I think that black-and-white photography offers an aesthetic unity and highlights the lights and shadows. Jack Curran’s photographs make me want to explore this universe
