A selection of my favorites shots along the years

There is no such superficial thing as pure decoration when it comes to the role of colours in Eastern religions. Saffron, for example, symbolises fire, the fire that burns darkness away, the fire that burns impurities away, the fire that burns ignorance away. As fire bringing light, Saffron is the colour of saints and ascetics, those who have renounced to the world.

It is with great respect that one should look at how seriously tradition is held within young generations .

I dedicated three days to capturing the daily life in the area and the organization’s efforts to enhance hygiene, waste management, and water accessibility for the local population. Additional photographs from this project can be found on Solidarités International’s Instagram account.

]]> Lebanon https://www.lamoune.net/photography/lebanon/ Mon, 21 Jan 2019 17:07:35 +0000 https://www.lamoune.net/?post_type=photography&p=724 This photo serie strives to showcase the complexities and nuances of the human experience in a country with a rich culture and history. The photographs are not a mere documentation of a specific place and time, but an attempt to convey the raw beauty and struggles that define Lebanon and its people.

]]> Nepal https://www.lamoune.net/photography/nepal/ Sat, 15 Oct 2016 15:30:59 +0000 http://www.lamoune.net/?post_type=photography&p=300 I have spent 1 month in the Nepali refugee camp of Chuchepati, near Kathmandu volunteering with the children, giving drawing, english and french lessons. It allowed me to share the life of the camp, enter the tents and make lifelong friendships.

]]> The Himalayas https://www.lamoune.net/photography/the-himalayas/ Sat, 01 Oct 2016 19:40:51 +0000 http://www.lamoune.net/?post_type=photography&p=41 Nepal is home of the highest mountains in the world. One have to experience it to understand the beauty and majesty of these summits. Another reward for these long hours of walk is meeting local people, who live there in harsh conditions, and who welcome trekkers for a meal or a night.

]]> The Ghats of Varanasi https://www.lamoune.net/photography/the-ghats-of-varanasi/ Thu, 15 Sep 2016 03:43:22 +0000 http://www.lamoune.net/?post_type=photography&p=252 The holy city of Varanasi is one of the most exotic and photogenic place I ever visited. Hindus believe that death in Varanasi will bring them salvation, so thousands of pilgrims perform ritual ablutions in the Ganga. The city if also home of hundreds of beggars and sadhus hoping for the generosity of the pilgrims.

]]> Home of the Dalai Lama https://www.lamoune.net/photography/home-of-the-dalai-lama/ Sun, 11 Sep 2016 03:27:07 +0000 http://www.lamoune.net/?post_type=photography&p=234 Lost in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, Dharamshala is hosting His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exil. This very small village, on the mountainside of the Himalayas, is also home of hundreds of Tibetan people who followed their spiritual guide.

]]> The Golden Temple https://www.lamoune.net/photography/amritsar-the-golden-temple/ Sat, 10 Sep 2016 23:58:45 +0000 http://www.lamoune.net/?post_type=photography&p=218 Situated in the old city of Amritsar, the Harmandir Sahib, also known as Golden Temple, is the most important pilgrimage site of Sikhism. The temple welcomes an average of 100,000 daily visitors and volunteers serve around 60’000 free vegetarian meals every day to anyone who ask for it, regardless of faith, gender or economic background.
