Giraud Polite

Giraud utilizes photography, cinema, and mixed media - individually and collectively - as documentary to illuminate the complexity of the human condition.

Like master photographer Sebastião Salgodo, Giraud embraced photography because of its inextricable link to storytelling. He discovered that the physical act of holding, pointing, and shooting with the camera apparatus functions as a means of controlling the narrative to yield a more sensorial account of the story.

Wielding photographer's privilege allows Giraud to reveal an intimate knowledge of his subjects. Defining photographic moments are rarely the result of operational efficacy, rather they are realized when the artist embraces his obligation to leave a place or a space unchanged.
