Artist of the Week: Pierre-Yves Monnerville

This week's artist is a friend of mine, photographer Pierre-Yves Monnerville. He's originally from Martinique, French Caribbian but he was born in Paris. I got to know him in the 90's. We wrote a bunch of letters (which I still have). Back then it was still fashionable to write letters instead of sending email, haha! Pierre-Yves has worked for model agencies in Paris and London and nowadays he lives in Brighton, UK. I had a bit of difficulties to select the images, so I ended up presenting almost double amount of what I usually present in this section. I really like Pierre-Yves' work, I think all images are beautiful. He really knows how to capture the moment. If you want to see full sets and/or other works, go to my links list and check them out at his website! Enjoy! Here's a link to Pierre-Yves' interview:
