Portrait, The Omo Valley, Ethiopia Photograph (c) Gilles Perrin
"I produce social and documentary photography. My work is centered around making photographs and witnessing the condition of the world around me. I try to show a certain reality, which matches my vision and my emotions. My desire is to show the contradictions and paradoxes; the counterbalance of a world in progress which is impossible to deny. I am interested in the reality we don’t see."–Gilles Perrin
Africa has a place of honor this year at Paris Photo 2011 and although Gilles Perrin is not showing his Burkina FasoCeremonial Mask photographs there, his exhibition "WOMEN" is in Rueil-Malmaison at Espace Renoir.

I love these, and I love African masks.
Superbe...

wonderful work...
Is it just me or is his work outrageously colonial? Please tell me he's using the approach ironically or critically?
