François-Nicolas L'HARDY

Hôtel Fontfreyde / Centre photographique de Clermont-Ferrand, Director, France

6 Morning - 7 Morning
From 1998 to 2016, François-Nicolas L’Hardy was head of the Centre Atlantique de la Photographie (Cap), which is associated with Quartz-Scène nationale de Brest, where he curated several group and solo shows (“Un soupçon de réel”, “Ailleurs”, “Ports et cargos”, “Breizh-Mex/Miradas cruzadas”, etc.).
In January 2017, he became programming director at the Hôtel Fontfreyde-Centre photographique de la Ville de Clermont-Ferrand. He plans and sets up exhibitions as well as supports photographers in residence sponsored by the city of Clermont-Ferrand. While promoting photographers, he quietly goes about creating his own images.
Several of his projects involve travel. For example, the “Train” series, photographed in Romania in 2006, ends a group of subjective reportages on Eastern Europe. Since 2003, he has focused on portraits.
