About

 

 

“Vas-y Bonhomme” was born out of a concept, it’s an idea that blends Beauty, Wisdom, vintage and contemporary arts in one medium. My artistic approach is a representation of my identity, my community and a cumulation of lessons I’ve learned through studying, the impact of unequivocal Truth . I was Born in Switzerland and spent most of my teenage years in my parents’ native land, Cameroon.

The Era of Photography that inspired me to pick up a camera and study light is the era of “pictorialism” in the late 19th century; the correlation between photography and fine art painting. Some photographers have drawn inspiration from “Rembrandt” during earlier centuries and rightfully so, but techniques do not change the objective of Photography, and that is story telling.

Any goal or passion of mine? sure. Being featured at an art gallery and discuss the meaning of my photographs with a crowd. My other passion is teaching.

I've divided my catalogue into 3 main categories on this site. Commercial & conceptual (Beauty and Fashion photography), Portraiture and Events.

I shoot the occasional wedding, banquet & party. I’ve worked with very capable Makeup artists during wedding & exhibitions where we showcase 3 bridal looks: classic, dramatic & tribal.

Have a project in mind or an idea to come to fruition? You can reach me via the contact form on this site or send me an email at vasyphoto@gmail.com

Cheers,

Vas-y Bonhomme
