Vasantha YOGANANTHAN
Since 2009, French photographer Vasantha Yogananthan ha developed his photographic approach to carefully respond to subject and place. The photobook has been central to his worksince he begun which has led him to co-found the publishing hose Chose Commune in 2014. Yogananthan’s own process has been developed whilst working on the major independent projects Piémanson (2009-2013) and A Myth of Two Souls (2013-2021) which have been published and exhibited internationally. In 2022 spent the summer in New Orleans creating a new series as part of Immersion – a French-American photography program by the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès.
