Clubber Spotlight: Yannis Zeggane
This week, we shine the spotlight on Paris-based photographer Yannis Zeggane. Yannis' work simulatneously conjures a mix of 90s nostalgia with a 70s psychedelia. Through an almost surrealist approach to his process through experimental post-production, each image gives a peek into worlds that feel both familiar and obscure.
"I find that photography is an incredible tool for me to be able to convey my current mood and personal taste, especially as someone who leans more introvert. Through my images and artistic direction, my hope is to really communicate messages that I’m grappling with at the time, ranging from peace, happiness, to sadness and and the darker sides of the human experience. It all truly just depends on my mood at the time.
Through my creative scene, I thrive on collaborating with young and emerging talents in Paris, where I’m currently living. I approach each shoot as if I’m preparing a dish; selecting the best ingredients from my surroundings to create a cohesive burst of flavour.
In terms of process, I shoot both digital and analog. With digital photography, I enjoy playing with textures during post-production that I create myself. For analog, I scan the negatives myself to achieve the desired result, which is often a fuzzy depth and painterly quality.
Currently, I find myself particularly inspired by the analog process. Scanning the negatives myself allows for a more tactile approach to photography, which helps me refine my image-capturing techniques on set. I view analog photography more akin to painting; clicking the shutter only when I'm certain I've captured an iconic moment!"
