Harold De Puymorin
BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Toulouse, France and now living and working in Hong Kong as a full-time photographer, Harold De Puymorin splits his time between commissioned work and personal projects.
Harold's commissioned works span architecture and interiors to portraits, as well as other commercial assignments; he enjoys collaborating across industries, subjects and moods to make visions come alive.
Photography has been a sometimes dizzying journey of exploration as he seeks to find his true ‘voice’ as an artist, and has included much experimentation in terms of method, style and subject.
As Harold De Puymorin first started playing with digital cameras, his initial artistic approach leant towards experimentation and manipulation; it took several years to really sit himself down and begin to understand the purpose of taking pictures—years in which he did not take almost any personal photos as they weren’t able to satiate his new sense of passion and purpose.
Once Harold began film photography, he understood the approach that his work needed, namely ‘Taking the time.’
This concept sounds simple, but he quite literally needed to ‘take the time’ during those experimental years to consider what really mattered to him. Harold's photography is not about recognition, it’s about self-therapy: does taking this picture make me happy? How much energy, how much of myself, am I willing to put into the project?
Harold today consider this part of his everyday life, whether he is documenting the cityscapes that surround him, scenes of daily life in the streets of Hong Kong, or something altogether more abstract yet visually pleasing.
More that just following a trend, film photography has helped him understand that the moment is more important than the picture itself. Life is to be lived and to be enjoyed, and if we are lucky, we are able to freeze small glimpses of its experiences within a frame.
