ATOML: Julien Bouvier hello, thank you for having me ... Your activities cover several areas, but what led you to food photography? A niche to take on the region, a taste for the good things?
To meet people I have great respect: the leaders, in general, because they are true artists, I like to work and magnify their creations through my photos is a way to honor them. I always say that I consider the kitchen as the eighth art! Yes! Why not?
JB: All of our activity is now focused on the food!
