Strong portraits mixed with melancholy moments. Get to know 20 year young photographer from Switzerland Edwin Charmillot.

 

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Switzerland, Delémont and I am still living here.

A lot of your work is black and white. What do you like about it?

What fascinates me about black and white is “chiaroscuro”. Sometimes I may be a little depressing, but I like this sad side of b&w.

A word that describes your work.

I think: Subtle.

 

“Sometimes I may be a little depressing, but I like this sad side of b&w.”

 

How do you find your models, and when do you feel that you want to work with that special girl?

I find them via instagram and some of them are my friends. In the first case, I look at her account. If it’s a private account it’s usually a bad sign. (laughs) And if I like what I see, we start to talk a little bit, as it´s important to feel a connection with the person. The most important features for me are her eyes and her skin.

A photographer is always on the search of the perfect picture. Do you think something like a perfect picture exist?

I have seen images that have been in my memory for a really long time. Some photos can definitely touch us. I’ts about our feelings, our sensitivity and our memories.

And talking on favorite image. Do you have a current fav image, if yes, which one and why?

There is a picture for me that is perfect : “Le baiser de l’hôtel de ville” from Robert Doisneau. This picture looks like a stolen moment. Everything is moving except this couple. If it’s a staging, then bravo. But I prefer to “do not know”, and continue to dream.

Where can we find you on a friday night?

Certainly on my laptop, busy processing my photos or writing on my script. If I’m not at home, I sip a mojito in town.

Hello from my planet! I love nature, freedom, dancing, music, my family, reading, chilling, cats and the woods. What makes me happy is healthy food, a good night out, long walks in the forest with my boyfriend and getting lost in the sound of nature.
