Pierremm ?

Pierre-Emmanuel MICHEL, aka Pierremm, visual artist, photographer, awarded art director.

Graphics Designer for almost 20 years, I mainly worked in Paris and Bordeaux in advertising and interactive agencies as Art director, working my own artistic way side by side.

Based since january 2011 in Oloron-Sainte-Marie in the south-west of France, I develop there a graphic design studio and a gallery, Existences.

Visual artist

Looking for new directions, I conceived paradoxCity, a graphic design concept exploring man’s relationship with the urban environment, with others and his own demarche. An immersive journey that challenges familiar visual clues.

Photographer

Photography is the natural extension of my initial background, finding in reality another incarnation, a complement to my figurative work.

My interests are plastician documentary, photojournalism, humanitarian, travel photography, sport, portraits, interiors, architecture, etc. I am available for photo assignments worldwide.

Since January 2009, I've been going regularly across the Philippines country to draw the warm and friendly vibrations that my artistic demarche tries to share through photography and writing. I'm also member of the Philippines Center for Photojournalism since 2009. I also travelled Europe, North America and Africa, looking for inspiration in scenics and cities.

My photos are regularly shown in exhibits, in France and in the Philippines. Sharing is also possible with workshops and conferences for organizations, students, galleries or photo-clubs
