The photo series was created in 2017. I have been living in the hinterland of Nice since 2005.
On the evening of the terrorist attack on July 14, 2016, my children were in Nice for the fireworks and had to spend the night in the house of friendly strangers. I couldn't bring them home until the next day. But how many others were not so lucky!
I want to share the happiness that I have been able to regain. The will to live and the joy of life should not be stolen from us by terrorists!
The result are colorful, positive, happy pictures, moments on the promenade full of life. With my series I want to give people colour and light, courage and joy.
No picture is artificially composed, cut or reassembled. The movement was captured directly with the camera. They are natural, non-posed photographs of people on the promenade.
I had my first photographic exhibition - with this series "Promenade Moments" - in November 2017 in Menton, France, at PhotoMenton 2017, and received the first prize ("Prix de l'Affiche") with the picture "The Orange Cap".
Afterwards, the series was exposed at several INSTITUTS FRANCAIS (Magdeburg, Nuernberg, Bonn, Duesseldorf, Berlin, Dresden).
