About the photographer

About the photographer

 

Frederic  was born in 1964 in Hyères on the French Mediterranean coast.

He is a decendent of a Spanish emigrant family. 25 years earlier, his grandfather was a political refugee of the Spanish Civil War.

In France, he is known as “The Spanish Guy”.  In Spain, he is “The French Guy “.

It is within this peasant and median working class family that he grew up and started to nurish his mind with images from humans at work.

After becoming a national champion in track and field, he stopped sports to begin his studies. He is an Engineer in Microelectronics and graduated with an MBA – IAE from La Sorbone Paris. He is now a  Subject Matter Expert in the Pharmaceutical Industry and an entrepreneur.

He moved to Barcelona in 2000 and he begun to shoot in 2001 with a Lomo Camera. In 2003 he spent one year in Taiwan. That’s the year he really began to take up photography.  From Taipei, he became a member of a Spanish group of photographers on a  Yahoo group. The webmaster was Luis Scheerer, and thanks to this entire group, he began his passion. From then on, a big part of his life is within this website.

A photographer is that person who is behind the Camera, the one who is never on the scene, a manner of confirming that one is never anywhere.

He shoots with a Leica MP, 35mm, 21 mm, 50 mm and Kodak TriX 400. A few shots are now Digital…

Dream? Become a Photographer when you grow up…

Frederic,
You really have a great eye, and a sense for strong and clean compositions. While I appreciate your continuous research (motion in primis), I must say I find your portraits and people shots really compelling! Keep up the great work, I will follow it!
Cheers, Antonio

You’re a master
Hi Frederic,
only today I took some time to look at your complete portfolio. I think you already know that I admire your shots, but what amazed me today, is that you have really an own style. Different pictures, but you by heart who is the author.
With admiration and a little bit of envy,
Bruno.

Great work! Just looked thru your web site! Very nice.
Sarah Underhill

——————————————————————————–
Very nice work… Interesting in reading your thread about HCB and your work. Without giving any judgement, your photos seem more “agressive”, direct and tightly framed than HCB. But still, really great stuff. Continue for our pleasure

Salut Fred, j’ai visiter ton site et ce fut une tres bonne surprise, j’aime beaucoup le texte qui accompagne les photos.. Donc si je comprend bien ce message sera dans ton livre d’or =) Et bien un grand bravo pour ton oeil photographique remarquable et continue comme ca ! A plus 😉
Olivier M.

——————————————————————————–
Your Work
I’m honestly impressed with your work. I dont think I’ve seen many more interesting “eyes” in recent time. Your way of looking at the world is refreshing and exciting, your people shots are excuisite, always a bit away from the ordinary view point and framing. I dont know if I’m allowed to say this, but I think you could improve on the post work a bit. Your balance from darkness to highlights does not match the outstanding level of your creativity and energy in the photos. Combine the two and the world is yours. Cheers.
Felix Hug

——————————————————————————–
Took a good look at your work. You are a ‘people’ man. I like that. You give me new inspiration. Thanks.

Que decirte que no te haya dicho ya. !Sigue! Veo una evolucion en tus fotos. Aumentaste un punto en calidad… o varios, no se. 🙂

Hello Frederic, Some very nice pictures you have in this overall interesting portfolio…I especially like the Riga serie. Best Geert.
Geert Vanden Wijngaert

——————————————————————————–
It’s hard to believe that you are still a beginner; web design and photos well presented and thoughtfully balanced. Mary
Yes, your stories add meaning. I went back to your site and read everything; normally I can’t abide philosophical jargon put with photos, but your stories are not this. Your web design and critical thoughts move each image peacefully along. Mary

“Cages were invented for something. For birds, of course. For children, too… when they are birds and you love them very much.”
Really like the website and the “stories,” Frederic. I’ve always wanted to do something similar, but still haven’t gotten close to it. Kind of a block.Stories were invented for something. For memories, of course. For photos, too… when they are memories and you love them very much.
Eugene Scherba

——————————————————————————–
Words and pictures have always gone together – before letter based words, we had picture based words – words were invented so that people could communicate ‘pictures’, when you add words to your pictures, you enhance the picture – congratulations on your beautiful work

Salut Pascal,
Je viens de decouvrir tes images suite au gentil petit mot que tu as laisse sur une de mes photos… et j en reste sans voix tant la qualite est au rdv malgre l immense production. Chaque moment saisi est juste, a la fois spontane et tres bien pense (cadrage et lumiere). Beaucoup d images sont harmonieusement douces ET dures, cela tres bien renforce grace au N&B. Tout ca pour dire que j ai eu beaucoup de plaisir et d emotion a parcourir tes photos, et a me plonger dans tes univers, je trouve les textes associes aux images de ton site pleine de poesie, alors pour tout ?!! un immense BRAVO !
Tres bonne continuation, au plaisir de voir les suivantes.

You are more a communicator than a photographer. Both excellent and splendid! Some reminds me of Robert Doisneau, but your eyes are more journalistic and almighty.

Fred, acabo de visitar tu nueva página web y me has dejado impresionada con la calidad de todas las fotos presentadas y no solo eso, sino el diseño de la página está fenomenal y toda la presentación, por temas, muy coherente y artistica. Enhorabuena por ese trabajo tan creativo y sigue adelante con esa línea…..Saludos Belen
Belen Alvarez

——————————————————————————–
No se que fue mejor si haber compartido un par de birras esta semana o poder disfrutar de tu nueva creacion!!!! Esta muy buena la web. En serio, que en serio que es muy seria! Muy profesional, me parece fina, de muy buen gusto practica y todo sin empezar a hablar de las fotos. Sinceramente muchas felicidades.

Respecto a lo que se podria criticar de la pagina es la imposibilidad de ver fotos en thumb primero o de ir a la foto numero 15 de una galeria sin pasar por todas las anteriores, eso hace que sea un poco lenta. Yo tenia tiempo y ganas asi que la mire toda pero si no es asi puede ser un handicap.

Me encantaron las fotos, las primeras sobre todo de la galeria de China, una pasada.Ah, y vi la del retrato en cuba del fotografo.

Saludos y felicidades de nuevo.
Juan Kratzmaier,

Frederic,

J’ai aimé beaucoup ton portofolio !!!! j’adore! je ne suis pas une
professionnelle mais ça m’a vraiment touché.Surtout l’expression des yeux que t’as pu chopé des visages, en particulier dans ” seul avec ton diner” , j’ai aimé la série de la solitude !
Et je pense que le Bangladesh en couleur c’est une bonne idée, t’as fait
sortir la gaieté de ce pays plein de carmen, jaune, ….( malgré que ce
n’est pas toujours le cas) t’as bien fait de faire sortir ton appareil de l’armoire ! et je pense qu’il ne te restera pas beaucoup d’années pour être grand, patience ….

Fred:
Por fin tuve el tiempo suficiente para ver con calma toda tu pagina, y
quiero decirte que te felicito por la presentación. Cada una de tus fotos

mucho. Y la musica, complementa todo el buen trabajo que haces. Te considero
de mis fotografos favoritos! Saludos y a seguir buscando…

Hola Frederic

Acabo de visitar tu página web. Estoy muy emocionado. Me han gustado
todas tus fotos en especial las del Leica Gallery, todas y la de
” stories”.
En stories, más que las fotos, me conmueve el escrito. De un solitario,
yo, me has retratado sin estar allí.
La fotografía se ha convertido en mi compañera, gracias a ella, también
he encontrado gente especial.

outstanding stuff!

Your work is fantastic. Some shots are an absolute revelation; Photogrphers like yourself are an inspiration to me, and make me realize I am only scratching the surface of this immense artform. I enjoy your work very much, love the themes, framing and am dying to ask how you got the colour on the Cuban shots, which colour film did you use? Kindest regards and once again thank you very very nice

A Magnum eye …

Fred, your portfolio is one of the best I’ve seen on photo.net. Your pictures sometimes make me think Cartier-Bresson, sometimes Le Querrec. Your Magnum eye ? Undoubtedly, a lot of emotions through your pictures, a lot of suggestions, a fantastic look on the people in the street.
Stéphane GRAMONDO

Fantastic. You really have eye for portraits and its completely clear that you have the kill to ‘see’.

[i would really appreciate it if you had suggestions on my work, for what it s worth -it s the first time i write that] nice to be here, see you around! ivi

Ciao Fredt!

Hoy tuve un momentico para poder visitar, “todas” estas imagenes y lo unico que te puedo decir es que en ellas hay un arte que es rara y de la cual uno no puede pero aprender imensamente. Espero que un pelin de lo que tu dejaste en la Leica se queda conmigo y yo pueda lograr una fraccion de tu talento y tu arte.
Ciao unos saludotes y nos vemos pronto.

——————————————————————————–

Frederic Pascual,

Fred, you have made me smile in a way only you could. You are the one ‘street’ artist for whom I feel the most envy (not jealousy, but envy). You have the ‘vision’ for ‘seeing’ life’s ironies.

It’s a shame we can barely communicate because of your poor English and my poor French — at least with words. But with pictures, we surely can communicate.

I have missed your presence greatly — you have left a vacuum on Photo.net by your absence. Thank you, thank you, thank you, mon ami.

(Submitted with great respect to a fine ‘street’ photographer with an appreciation of life’s ironies and absurdities, what Cartier-Bresson would have termed ‘surrealism’ I think — you are cut from the same bolt of cloth as Cartier-Bresson I think. Consider that next time you are in Hyeres, please. ;~) )

I tip my hat to a great street artist.

Thanks so much.
John (Crosley)

I have just spent a long time browsing through your fine portfolio. I will be back often. Your images are significant and wonderful. Regards…

Me ha gustado mucho descubrir tu portfolio en photo.net y tambien tu pagina web. Hay tantas fotos que merecen ser vistas. Me gusta tu trabajo en blanco y negro, tienes un gran sentido de la composicion y del uso de la luz. He dejado comentarios en tres fotos que me han encantado: Half Girl, Two girls in La Havana y Le petit prince, pero solo son tres de muchas.

Enhorabuena por tu portfolio y tu vision.

Buenas imagenes
Llegue a tu portafolio a treves de una foto que vi en la seccion de criticas. Me ha gustado mucho tu trabajo; las imagenes son muy expresivas y las tonalidades de blanco y negro estan muy bien logrados, le suman mucha informacion al contexto. Las fotos de Cuba me gustaron, siempre me gusta ver fotos de mi pais…Un saludo.

Thanks for your visit Frederic and for your comment. Unfortunatly I had to quit PLR because is to hard for me to follow that task. Photography is only a hobby for me, all my pictures are taken with a pocket camera… I travel a lot ( as you can see) and I have not time to read hundreds of emails about PLR activities….. I enjoy to stay in PN and visit good photographer like You… Thank you again,

it took me ages to find your portfolio but i am very glad i am finally here. i find it very interesting to go through your folio from top to bottom, because it is very obvious how much you learned over the years. it is great how you seem to be ever ready, and i find that truly inspirational, because this is something i have to work on. of course you also reached a very high artistic level, and your way of seeing is truly inspiring. thanks for sharing on this site, best, fr.

Bonjour Frédéric, Je viens de découvrir par hasard votre site internet avec vos photos. J’ai été bluffé par votre style, vos choix esthétiques et votre souci des personnes en situation de vie. Très sincèrement, je vous félicite. Je regrette de ne pas avoir eu connaissance de ces activités lorsque nous nous sommes rencontrés à diverses reprises. J’espère que nous aurons de nouvelles occasions pour parler de cette passion. Je vous souhaite d’excellentes fêtes de fin d’année.
