Denis Guichot

I definitely consider myself a « concerned » photographer well aware of the challenges of our world. But I enjoy emphasizing the positive through vibrant photos. During this workshop with the extraodinary photojournalist Ed Kashi, I decided on documenting the appropriation of a stretch of the Seine riverbank by people living in or visiting Paris. Two busy lanes of car traffic used to run along the south bank between the Musée d’Orsay and Pont d’Alma. After months of work, this area was finally open to the public at the end of this month. There, people can now wander around, relax and play. A dream come true.
