Professional photographer, David Benaïnous made numerous photo reports with a documentary and humanist approach, inviting each one to the journey and to the meeting through suggestive pictures (Paris, Djerba, Jerusalem, Eastern Europe). David Benaïnous also has an avant-gardist perception of the photography, which does not limit itself to representational shots, but shows itself in an unlimited journey around the light.
He goes out of the traditional frame of the photography, and returns to its first definition : get the light and restore it on paper. He defines himself as a " photosensitive photographer ". He invites us thus to see beyond appearances and presents us " snaps of light ".
Real paintings, his" abstract photos " sometimes show to be real tributes or simple winks to the contemporary painters (Pollock, Duchamp).
Produce by the perception of the moment complete artistic compositions, this is his quest !
