Lost in the Beauty of Bad Weather

Bad weather? While others rush home, Christophe Jacrot grabs his camera and sets off. Known as the pope of bad weather photography, the French photographer seeks out rain, snowstorms, and fog to create his striking, melancholic images. His photos capture empty streets bathed in eerie light, with minimal figures framed by snowflakes or raindrops, evoking a sense of mystery and beauty.

In Lost in the Beauty of Bad Weather, Jacrot presents poetic photographic stories of metropolises shrouded in weather phenomena like rain and snow. The scenes, reminiscent of film noir, are brought to life with vibrant colors. Despite their harshness, the images evoke a peaceful, almost romantic atmosphere, much like watching a storm from the safety of indoors.

For fans of Jacrot's captivating work, this coffee table book is the perfect gift.

Born in 1960, French artist Christophe Jacrot discovered photography in his youth but first gained recognition in the world of film, where his award-winning short films drew acclaim. Confronted with the financial limitations of the film industry, he returned to photography—an art form to which he now devotes himself entirely.
