PHOTOGRAPHER

Beauty, love and awareness has inspired Antoine's photographic work.
From his travels to his interest in people and music, Antoine documents his life and the people around him. His new studio has propulsated his work to a professional level and helped him developing new photographic styles.

Antoine Bonsorte has shaped one of his own style he calls "Light Paintings". This technique is generally used by the photographers who literally paint their subjects with a flash light or other movable light fixture.
Instead, Antoine uses existing lights as well as the movement of his camera and subjects to create his technique. All the photos are taken in one shot.
Exept in his "Angel Prayers" photo serie Antoine uses the computer to create compositions.
All other photos come right from the camera. No cropping or color alterations are involved. Just "levels" (a Photoshop command that is a simulation of the developping process of film) are used for most of his photography.

Antoine Bonsorte photography has been published on the Washington Post, a fitnesss book by Kathy Smith, numerous website and more.

Antoine,

I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful experience I had during our
Yoga photo shoot on Monday. I truly appreciated your kindness, support and
professionalism. I felt at ease and myself. The digital yoga pictures are
so beautiful, the headshots so radiant and authentic. They are like a
positive mirror image that infused me with confidence and a deeper sense of
purpose. Of course they will allow me to promote my Yoga teaching.

Exquisite!   
Boldly,
yet so gently
illumining the sensual
in EVERYTHING!   
from rusty doorknobs,
to bricks, and pipes and undecided clouds
you bring us beauty
ignoring or transforming all that isn't.
Staring at angular doorways
you entice me to smell and to hear them
and I feel soft and round
and as for that proud hussy of a rose...
Well!
commanding us into the deepest crevice of
our pleasure....
how dare you!
How dare you indeed,
But thank God that you do.

With gratitude and appreciation,

From Olivia
