I was in my own lonely world quite young , around 6-7 but I started to touch a guitar at the age of 16, Photography came at 20.

I hope to renew my inspiration and to go further , deeper in the creative process . I still don’t know how . this year ( 2012 ) I’m working on the movie ‘ alexander Deschaumes – the quest for inspiration’ with Mathieu lelay ( a full lengh movie about me and my work as a landscape photographer ; http://www.mathieulelay.com/films/alexandre-deschaumes-quete-inspiration ) and we are heading to ‘bretagne’ , then Patagonia and Iceland ( Iceland in June is a workshop , with 6 people ).

Name 3 people that has been your inspiration?

Tell us about your artwork – What thoughts you have when you work?

I’m enthralled by otherworldly visions, empty wild scapes, ominous atmospheres, wilderness. When I work, I try to avoid ‘thinking’ too much to allow ‘emotion’ to enter .. I’am unable to tell what are my thoughts during the moments I am looking for compositions.

How often do you make your art?

Quite often I think but not too much , it’s too exhausting sometimes ( I’m very active when I’m in nature, a lot of energy ) and I need some moments of calm , to renew the process of creativity.

Did you exhibit your work somewhere?

I was in a French festival this year ( image&neige / Cluses ) and some other local exhibit .In 2012 I will be in ‘Mont Blanc Festival’ near Chamonix ( fr ) . And I hope to try ‘Montier en Der’ festival
