Greenhouse, France

French artist, Dimitri Bourriau “Jahz Design”, is a graduated graphic designer. He has always been interested in history and architectural remains. It was in 2013 when he developed his interest in the photography of heritage in disuse. His first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships. Today he travels the globe looking for places in decline. It draws our attention to our civilization in constant mutation to ephemeral memory.

His latest discoveries have taken him in the footsteps of the Soviet Buran spacecraft program in Baikonur (Kazakhstan). In 2017 he became Manfrotto ambassador. In 2018, Irix, the brand of ultra-wide angle lens of Swiss origin, proposed to Dimitri to become their ambassador.

“I am self-taught, I learned photography alone while trying as much as possible to have my own photographic style. The complete editing of an image is between 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the retouching. I try to transcribe as much as possible what my eyes saw on the spot,” he told Bored Panda.

“The creation of an image can be very long, I sometimes come back to my work several days later. People like to discover new places, sometimes places that are very close to home and that they did not know. The most interesting part is researching places and not knowing if there is still something interesting there.”

“I wanted to photograph abandoned places to keep track of all these places before they disappear. I started photography in Nantes, France with an old abandoned orphanage. With that being said, before becoming a photographer I started with drawing, which taught me how to compose a photo.”
