Pierre Gonnord
The Portrait Test.
Commissioned by the French National Center for Visual Arts – Ministery of Culture and Communication.
Pierre Gonnord was a teenager when he started taking pictures, a self-taught photographer fascinated by the great portrait masters, both painters and photographers.
Since 2001, he has tried to find personalities asserting their appearance; more recently he has done portraits of persons from migrant or mixed backgrounds.
After completing an outstanding report on the gypsies of Seville, he was given a commission by the French Ministry of Culture & Communication to portray the Gypsy community of Perpignan.
