Le Carnet Noir

Nacho Ormaechea is a Spanish artist who resides in Paris. He says about places which motivate him the most:

'I'm mostly comfortable with cities which I see as perfect theaters full of inspiring yet anonymous characters.'

The people in his series 'Le Carnet Noir' are anonymous characters, a snapshot of a fleeting moment in their day, and taken away from this landscape and replaced with a contrasting image. These characters are the ones which inspire Ormaechea the most, anonymous people who, although they are unknown to most, are involved with and in the day to day running of the city.
