PORTRAITS

SOMEWHERE / SERIES

At the edge of the Camargue, land and sea blur into endless plains of salt. Wind and sun shape the flooded flats into shifting patterns of crystal and water. This is a landscape carved by evaporation and time - a fragile territory in constant transformation. The salt quarries stand silent and immense, where nature becomes mineral and the horizon dissolves into the deep blue sky and stark drifting clouds.

New York Without US_Badessi_P034_A_edite

A photographic meditation on absence and presence. Through empty streets, forgotten corners, and silent facades, this series asks: What remains when we disappear? It’s an invitation to see the city stripped of its performers - us - revealing a raw stage of steel, stone, and fleeting light. Random objects catch the light in unexpected places, like clues left behind. New York appears here like a solitary portrait, studied up close, as if its walls, streets, and shadows were skin and pulse. In these images, the city lives on quietly, holding memories of the crowds that shape it.
