Temporale, 2019ToscaneFrom the series Veduta

Self-taught, Thomas Jorion travels to make his landscapes, working in natural light with an analogue 4×5-inch large-format camera. He photographs ruined and abandoned places that still hold their past.

His book Silencio (La Martinière, 2013) gathered several series. From 2013 to 2016 he explored the former French colonies, the journey that became Vestiges d'empire, before turning to the palaces and villas of Italy in Veduta.
