Naked bodies of young women fight against dim lights, cold colours, shadows ready to swallow them up. There is something sad and disturbing about Remi Rebillard‘s shots. 
Remi Rebillard is a French photographer who grew up in Paris in close contact with artists and actors. After working with French director Jean Becker and for a few magazines, he moved to New York, where he continued to work as a photographer shooting for magazines and catalogues. Over time and with the experience he gained, Remi began to move away from the fashion world and, in 2009, began his own artistic research. 

Since then his pictures stand out for their unique style and themes. 

Today, Remi Rebillard’s photographs focus on naked young women in austere, dark, almost abandoned environments. The beauty of the forms and the purity of the models’ diaphanous skin create a strong contrast with their surroundings, accentuated by an exaggerated saturation of colours.

With these images, the French photographer wants us to reflect on the condition of the world today and how any kind of beauty – in this case represented by the girls – can survive without suffering. 

In fact, the models’ bodies bend and crumple as if the decadence of their surroundings had affected them too. 

“His work dares to dwell in broken, stark and dirty places to draw out the story of a naked soul seemingly stumbled upon. He examines the dichotomy of his subjects’ sensuality and despondency, and from that examination, he creates a narrative colored by his own intimate experience with life and society’s heartbreaks.”
