wocomoCULTURE | Miles Davis' legendary concerts by Magnum photographer Guy Le Querrec | Contact (5/9) @wocomoCULTURE | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Contact sheets are the first overview for the photographer of what he has captured on film. They give a unique and intimate view of the style, methods and thoughts of the artist.
Cartier-Bresson himself, founder of the Magnum Photo agency, was strongly opposing the disclosure of his contact sheets and yet the choice of that picture is the point of contact between the photographer's life, thoughts, philosophy and the subject he portrays.
What is the story behind the most famous iconic photos
from around the world? A unique and fascinating journey into the forbidden city of the contact sheets of the world renowned photographers from Magnum, the legendary agency founded in 1947.

Fascinated by the still image since his first encounter with cinema as a child, Guy Le Querrec taught himself photography before becoming one of the most recognized photographers of his generation. Fascinated by Africa, where he first worked for the newspaper "La Jeune Afrique", Le Querrec formed his style. He photographed remote tribes. He describes himself as an image fisherman "Pêcheur d'image", he tats the ground, not knowing what he will find, he discovers on the spot what can attract his curiosity. For him, photography prevents us from forgetting, it has the power to remind us of a moment, a memory, like Proust's madeleine.
One of his most beautiful encounters was with the great jazz musician Miles Davis, whom he photographed on multiple occasions, such as during the Marciac Jazz Festival in the south of France. His photos reflect the huge charisma of the legendary trumpeter, the black and white of his photos intensifies the aristocratic and royal figure of the Prince of Darkness. At the end of the 60's, Miles Davis was the leader of modern jazz. He experimented and marked a new turning point in his career by inserting electronic modulation into his music. The celebrity of Miles Davis in the 60's equals that of the rock stars.
In his recent work, Le Querrec is interested in Brittany's landscapes and culture, in people in their daily lives.
