Photographer Bernard Bouthors

My name is Bernard Bouthors. I'm French, 64 years-old and retired. I'm living in Cergy, a city in the neighborhood of Paris. As a photographer, I define myself as an old beginner.

I'm definitely not a professional. I'm still searching my "style" but, clearly, I prefer minimalistic compositions and 'Less Is More' is one of my favorite mottos.

My method is 'Learn by doing'. I've been an active member of the Facebook group ALJPHOTO for three years. This group is hosted by the French photographer Anne-Laure Jacquart. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ALJPHOTO/ I've learned a lot from this group, essentially the fundamentals of composition and one major lesson: Be yourself! Creativity is in you.
