Jean-Marc Caracci Caracci
Montpellier, France

Of 100% Sicilian heritage, I was born in Tunisia in 1958... but I have lived in south of France, Montpellier, since my little childhood. Self-taught photographer, I started using black room at the age of 15. When I was 20, I had the great opportunity to be the photographer of the regiment where I made the army. I learnt a lot there how to photograph people, and my work started focusing on the Man... the Man as a representation of belonging, rarely as a social object. My style is clearly inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier Bresson, Elliott Erwitt, Raymond Depardon... but also by the American painter Edward Hopper. In 2000, I wrote a still unpublished novel : "Love and Chickpeas Soup". In late 2005, I decided to leave the company where I was employed, in order to devote myself exclusively to photography... and so begin a photographic artist full-time career. To date, the series “Homo Urbanus Europeanus” is my biggest artwork.
