Quentin Simon

Our favorite photos from the amazing French photographer @quentin__simon

Scrolling through Quentin Simon’s portfolio, you can see his ability to capture the beauty of his subjects. From landscapes to models, Quentin’s work is full of details, beautiful colors, and plays with the contrast between light and shadows.

For Quentin, photography started as a way to keep memories of the places he’d been and things he saw. But over time it developed into a true passion for him. “As the time passed I kept putting more and more passion into it. As simple as that.”

When asked to describe his style, Quentin says he just wants to tell the truth with his photography and to have the viewer feel something. “It can come with just a particular light, a shape or an expression of a face. I try to show the things as natural as they are, raw, no tricks.”

To see more of his work, you can visit Quentin’s website or you can follow him on Instagram.

Below is a selection of some of Quentin’s finest work with commentary in his own words. Enjoy!
