Francois Jonquet: Forage

‘Forage,’ the debut book by Francois Jonquet—a captivating collection of photographs that unveils a profound visual narrative spanning two decades. Through his lens, Francois captures the essence of everyday moments, evoking nostalgia and longing while inviting reflection on the transient beauty found in the ordinary. With an unspoken narrative weaving through its pages, the book gracefully emphasizes the beauty found in this rich family diversity. Each image in ‘Forage’ offers a glimpse into a personal journey, transcending documentation to reveal a heartfelt exploration of the human experience. His photographs transport the reader to a realm where time stands still, where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary, and where the unspoken stories speak volumes.

“It feels as if there is something concealed within these pictures. It pertains to the inner journey of self-reflection that I have been undertaking for the past 20 years. Most portraits in the series capture individuals in contemplative moments, and perhaps they are, in fact, portraits of myself.”
