Passing Forms

I photograph bodies caught in moments of exposure: on stage, in the street, at work, in transit or inside landscapes shaped by human presence. My background in theatre influences the way I look at gesture and tension, but these images are not organised by genre. They come from the same interest: the instant when a figure, an animal or a place becomes unexpectedly strange.

Photographer

Hermes Gaido

Argentine photographer and theatre director based in Montpellier, France. My work moves freely across street photography, portraiture, animals, landscape and visual experimentation. I am drawn to gestures, encounters and moments of tension, but also to the quiet strangeness of the natural world: an animal’s presence, a changing landscape, light transforming an ordinary place. Coming from theatre, I am interested in images where reality seems to shift briefly into a scene, without losing its mystery or spontaneity.
