TITLE: Strange Days

There are strange days. Days like this one, when everything seems out of the ordinary. From the marvelous to the most unsettling, this series of photographs immerses us in the strangeness of life and, more specifically, in the magical city that Paris represents to me. An urban tale. Once upon a time, in the heart of the city, the magic of a sudden apparition. On a Parisian street corner, as if under a spell, the hustle and bustle ceases, and from the silence emerges a chance image. Reality is now suspended, giving way to the enchantment of the moment.
The silhouettes prove to be unique and striking. In the tireless quest for the infinite: capturing the enchantment of the encounter with the intimate. Capturing the trace of their passage, the shadow cast.

AUTHOR: Hillel Winograd (France)

Hillel Winograd is a French photographer based in Paris, active since 2008, specializing in street photography and portraiture. Awarded in several international competitions, he embodies a subtle, silent, and profoundly human approach to urban photography. The man is marginal. He stands at the edge of the world, in perpetual search for balance. He never stood in the evidence of speech. It is silently that he considers reality. He waits for his turn, surrounded by a grace that emanates from him. He gleans the precious moment, the slightest detail where the splendor of life shines through. He says, “Making a photo is like catching the ideal.” He holds to life, and he sticks to it. Shooting is an essential link to others, a necessity to stay upright, alive, alert. Hillel Winograd is a gleaner of images, a collector of signs, a collector of moments. He is an indefatigable seeker of infinity. He travels the streets of Paris, he picks the real, which wants to be seared. He aspires to another reality that he applies to drawing. In the accumulation of images, a plot is formed, the photographer, the man seeks his truth.
