드니 루브르Denis Rouvre

검색에 걸렸던 프랑스 사진가, 드니 루브르(Denis Rouvre). 인물사진으로 유명하다. 홈페이지가 정말 세련되게 만들어져 있다. 가끔 놀러가서 구경할 만하다. (http://www.rouvre.com/)

스모 시리즈를 발표하며 그가 했던 말인 것 같다. "나는 카메라 옆에서 기다릴 뿐이다. 그와 그녀의 얼굴이 말할 때까지." 유명한 셀러브러티들의 인물사진들에선 사실 별다른 개성을 느끼지 못했지만, 세네갈 레슬러와 스모 선수 등의 '문화적 타자'들을 대상으로 다룰 땐 묘한 깊이와 집중력이 느껴져 좋았다.
