"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”
JEAN-LUC MEGE
"THE HEART IN YOUR EYES"
With his intense human sensitivity and Philippe Soupault's philosophy:
"The heart in your eyes," Jean-Luc Mege takes more than just
photos. With a very eclectic range of experience from photo-journalism
and grand reportage to humanitarian, fashion, and magazine covers, Jean-luc
has traveled much of the world. He has shared the lives of the most humble
and those in poverty, misery, luxury and even death. His imagery is often
used to help the world, in countries in crisis or war. Jean-Luc uses his
camera to offer more than just photographs; he wants you to share in the
story.
"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier..."
Mother Teresa
Jean-Luc MEGE covers, illustrates and immortalizes around
the world. He has an ability so rare to be able to tell a story through
his photographs. The force of the narrative comes from a unique path.
Jean-luc is imbued with great empathy, an unprecedented tenderness of
his eyes and an innate sense of composition.
He captures your wedding with the same kindness and generosity that drives
him when he does his reports through out the world. (His last "strong"
experience? Working with the "poorest of the poor" in the slums
of Calcutta). The human is at the heart of his career. Discreet, delicate
and intense these adjectives apply to both Jean-luc the photographer and
to his photographs. Photographs by Jean-Luc MEGE bear within them an intensity
and a strong sense of relationship.
It is maybe not merit, but real talent, to know both photographing people
in all their humanity...
