Jerome Gence
Canon Ambassador
Jerome Gence feels the pulse of our time, traces digital trends and knows how to visualise them in an unparalleled way, he dresses them into images of sobering and at the same time compassionate clarity. Intuitively, he approaches his subjects with attentiveness and respect and, despite the intimate proximity to his models, maintains the concerned photographer’s balance between sympathy and reporting narrative. Inspired and encouraged by the French photography legend Éric Valli, Gence himself grew within a few years to become one of the important photographers of our time, which is not only reflected in publications in the world’s most important magazines such as National Geographic, GEO, Stern, Le Monde or Le Figaro, but has also made him a very sought-after guest at festivals. Canon was quick to recognise his talent and appointed him as a brand-ambassador in 2020.
– Lois Lammerhuber
I’ve always loved the idea of writing a story through photographs. Working on this project with Lois was en evidence to me as he is both a such talented photographer and so passionated about books.
I WANT TO BE WITH YOU is the result of six years of travel and wandering in both the real and virtual World. Yes! it’s a book which has as background virtuality, but the core of it, it’s above all about the magic and the surprise of the encounters between human beings… and the necessity to preserve them.
