Description

GSM - All photography shot on iPhone is the ultimate photo book entirely shot on an iPhone by French fashion photographer and director Axel Morin. Through his eye as an artist, Axel has developed a poetic storytelling of all the micro-narratives of the city, capturing the very essence of it. Since the beginning of this series initiated in 2014, several generations of iPhone have been used by Morin, who captured these city snapshots. The tones, the lines, the lights follow one another and answer each other in a cinematographic montage, presenting a modern and delicate world-city. This book is an archive of our time, made with the tool we always carry with us, which have become an extension of ourselves. The images are not anticipated or constructed, they are the ones that emerge from the urban monotony and are collected by the phone. The very graphic composition of the photographs draw from the background of Morin as a painter, and the association of lines and colors plunge us into a reenchanted everyday life.
