One of the main characteristics of Thierry Bansront’s photographs is his attention to faces and emotions that can be rendered with a gaze, a pose or the rhythm of the body. The author’s best-known series is unquestionably Neoclassical, in which what clearly emerges is his predilection for the female body, captured in harmonious and sinuous poses that are clearly a tribute to neoclassical painting, considered the acme of the representation of the body in its aesthetic dimension of grace, harmony and beauty. The set of lights and colours underscores the models’ natural beauty. Bansront’s style strives to move away from the dictates of the modern representation of women to return to soft and gentle forms. The background is dark and the figures emerge luminously in dynamic and almost sculptural poses. There is never direct eye contact between the photographed subject and the observer. It is as if there were simultaneously a form of winking created by the movements of the body and an unbridgeable moral and temporal distance. So in one case the woman is photographed from behind with her hands picking up her hair and a veil leaving her back bare; then she is embracing another woman who seems to lightly touch her shoulders as both have lowered their gaze; in yet another we find a mirror to reveal her face in the fashion of the games of seduction of ancient nobility. Nudity is never complete but always evoked through a pose that alludes to a mood.
