Through his Monocolor series, Philippe Savary depicts snapshots of daily life in St Barth.
His photos transform St Barth into a calm and ordinary island that exists hidden in between the peaks of high season. His subjects are static and suspended in time.
Each photo is in the series is stripped to black and white, after which exactly one colour is selected to be allowed back in, shifting the focus point of the photograph.
Philippe Savary left a career in advertising in La Rochelle and arrived in St Barth in 1997, where he became a roofer. Photography grew out of those years, and he has since released several series and shown work in many exhibitions on the island.
