A propos de moi

Fine Art Photographer

Henri ODABAS is a Award winning French contemporary pictorialist photographer.

The images captured using analog and digital cameras become real impressionist paintings.

His approach consists of taking photographs and editing them with a marked "pictorial" aspect, thus creating images that oscillate between photography and painting, capturing the beauty and sublimating the magnetism of the Light, making it almost tangible.

Henri is an insatiable “experimenter”, passionate, ready for all plastic experiments to achieve a final result where the emphasis is placed on feelings and inner life.
He is perhaps the ''inventor'' of ICM photography technic , since in 1971, when he was very young, he took his famous photograph entitled ''Blue Moon'' which is exhibited on his SaatchiArt gallery.

In 1996, he trained with Patrick BETAUDIER (1928-2008) at Neo Medici painting workshop in Monflanquin (FR) where he discovered a special technique of painting : creating a radiating light which magnetizes the sight.
