Cedric Bregnard

Cedric Bregnard has been observing nature since the age of 15, and has made it the subject of his works. Drawing inspiration from Asian philosophies that perceive human nature as aligned with the rest of nature, the artist seeks to express its essence in his creative process. From tiny seeds to magnificent cedar forests, Bregnard shows the living matter as it appears, in its simplest and purest form. Bregnard often uses a light with no shadow, making the subjects of his photographs appear almost weightless. His Vital Energy Series combine the negative and the positive versions of the image revealing the unexpected richness of the structure.

A graduate of the Vevey photography school, Bregnard established his studio in a former factory in Leclanché at Yverdon-les-Bains in Switzerland, where he is living. He shows his work in solo and group exhibitions in Switzerland, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Mexico
