In the Gerslovers of photo are already familiar with Lectoure, which has housed the Center for Art and Photography since 2010 as well as the Lectoure Photographic Summer event. But perhaps they will now have to rely on another town to satisfy their passion.

The first Fleurance Photographic Meetings will soon be organized (by the Gascogne Photo Club) in the commune of the same name. With around fifty photographers on the picture rails, from enlightened beginners to renowned professionals.

Well-known names in the region

On the professional side, photographers from the surrounding area, well known to locals, will obviously be there, Stéphane Jouanne from the Pixel et grain d'argent studio will be there.

A man who wears many hats. When he is not at a wedding, the man who is also a reservist is leader of the reserve armored platoon within the 5^e combat squadron of 1^is Parachute hussar regiment of Tarbes.

Lectourois will participate in the event, such as Pierre Culot and Gaëlle Lacombe from Duckprint, the “poetic photographer” Jeanne Delecluse, from la Verrière rouge and Damien Leroy, from Studio Leroy.

And a champion of gastronomic photography

But there will also be a star of… culinary photography : Philippe Exbrayat, from Art Gallery Viaud in Bordeaux. A man capable of making carrots sexy, make mushrooms work or make shallots shine like jewels!

Having worked with the biggest advertising agencies in the 1980s thanks to his gift for bringing still lifes to life, he has since launched into the photography of food, fruits, vegetables, dishes… Illustrating quantity of books by great starred chefs, from Yves Candeborde to Thierry Marx.

He also enriched the works of Jean-Luc Petitrenaud and Jean-Pierre Coffe with images. And won in 2012 the first prize in the major international culinary photography competitionchaired by Pierre Gagnaire. Thanks to it, you will never look at a simple egg the same way again.
