INTERVIEW
After a few years working as an assistant in Paris the now established Fashion Photographer John Hennequin set off by himself, in his own words; “to fly with my own wings” and began to work with fashion and cosmetic powerhouses like YSL, L’Oreal, Make Up Forever, Paco Rabanne, and so many magazines around the world including Marie Claire Group. When John is not behind the lens for fashion
shoots or commercials he is investing his time in meeting and exchanging with people. “What I love the most about my job is that moment when you exchange with someone and you really understand who he is… because behind the lens, you can’t lie.” John seeks inspiration from Renaissance art and nature; he adds “it’s some kind of spirituality that forces me to look to nature.” At my little level I try
to respect what I know about it.” He often puts his subjects in a natural landscape where the human being looks small in front of the majestic landscape. “I like to do this because sometimes we think we are king of the planet but we are not doing anything to help fix it.” The result shows in the final image. The landscape is powerful and captivating, the subject dependant, surrendered and immersed in the surroundings. >
