Didier Carré - Seios

Galeria Carré

.

To review the site called Gallery Carre, we must first take a look at the man behind the website. Didier Carre is a French photographer who has done erotic photography for more than 20 years. Since 2003, he has been running this website that is quite possibly the most artistic softcore website that is still primarily about the women. And to say that he presents these ladies in a whole new way would be an understatement. He knows his women, and although many of them will be familiar to you from other websites, they seem to really blossom only here, at Gallery Carre. The design of the website is simply amazing. It is completely innovative, incredible in its simplicity that lets you focus on what is important, the girls. Most of the girls are European, some of them true stars in their own right, but only in Carre’s black and white photos do they turn into these goddesses that will stay with you for a long, long time. The photos are not always black and white, although they are always monotone, playing with shadows and bringing you these gorgeous girls in a brand new fashion. As the website is operating since 2003, I don’t think I need to tell you that the collection is simply staggering in its volume. Carre has been providing us with a brand new set each day since its inception and I will let you do the math. The sets are on the small side, with about dozen photos per set, but quality is more important than quantity here, something refreshing in the world of erotica. The pics come in sizes that vary, with the biggest ones being at 6 megapixels. There is also a limited number of vids, as the photos are what counts at Gallery Carre. If you choose to become a member, you are going to experience much more than just mere photos. You will get o meet the girls backstage, you are going to see how the master works, you will see reviews of erotic movies and much, much more. It is really a club. If you consider yourself a connoisseur of fine erotic, you are going to find Gallery Carre to be one of the most spectacular erotic websites, with beautiful girls, breath-taking photos and insanely arousing material.

Didier Carré - A Visual Orgasm

A Visual Orgasm

Trees are the source of all life. Water, too. But trees have an intrinsic beauty and charm. They remind us of ourselves: trees have qualities that we should strive to achieve; they ask for nothing and give everything: their splendour, their place in the landscape, their umbrella of shade on a sunny day.

Trees are modest, dependable, trustworthy. The rain forests are the earth's lungs. Trees oxygenate our world. Without trees we would be breathless. Every time a tree is cut down without another being planted to replace it the world is diminished. Each and every one of us has lost something.

When Didier Carré first starting taking photographs of trees he did so because trees are such marvellous things. Was he aware of the sexual metaphor in the shapes of trees, in the underlying message entwined in the roots?

Sometimes the poet must be told when his poems mean; of the symbolism captured in his own words. Sometimes the photographer, too, with his portraits.

As friends began to see the allusion, the sensual bows and arcs of branches and boughs in willows and ferns, in the oak and the ash and the bonny elm tree, so Didier began to understand that his shots were optical poems to procreation, to the glory of nature: to the very differences between man and woman. The male is often unyielding. The female yields, bending to accommodate each new situation The oak stands rigid holding the snow in its branches until with the weight of winter they break and fall. The willow bends and bends and in the spring she springs back to life.

Didier saw in a falling leaf a falling tear and his mind went back to La Fontaine’s tale of the oak and the reed. He saw in the mighty trunk of the hardwood trees the manhood symbol, a soaring phallus like a carving on an Indian temple. The flowing fronds of the willow and magnolia encapsulate the shapes and shadows of the female so perfectly in a diptych the tree and the nude are a visual orgasm, a still moment stolen from time and preserved forever.

In art, vertical framing has a male signification; horizontal represents the female. Didier often takes his photographs vertically, but become equal and one with his subjects by placing them in a square frame: the perfect balance of yin and yang.
