Ewan Lebourdais, official painter of the Navy, takes us with the book SUB Immersion into a rarely published visual epic. The world of submarines is a secret world, which arouses curiosity, a world that we imagine but rarely see. Submarines exert a great fascination and even a real fervor for those who are lucky enough to glimpse them. This book of photographs, elegant and mysterious, allows us to share the emotion felt by Ewan Lebourdais at each visual contact with these extraordinary buildings, but also to the discovery of his own images which immortalize their brief appearances. A great connoisseur of the sea - of its ever-changing climate, of the instability of boats which is conducive to missing an image, of the architecture of the coast - Ewan Lebourdais knows, thanks to this acquired experience, how to position himself to achieve the perfect image he had mentally set for himself. His photographic approach consists of several stages: entering - in both the physical and mental sense - into the subject; aesthetically crushing the depths of field excessively to allow us to see what the naked eye does not see; choosing the settings in which he immortalizes his subject, which requires anticipation of placements. SUB Immersion is a visual epic, a tribute to human genius, to its capacity to achieve incredible technical feats but also to the humility of the women and men who sail aboard the steel monsters that crisscross our seas. This book is also an opportunity to showcase French know-how in a field of excellence that few nations master.
