Turquoise

By Pierre Carreau

In his Turquoise series, Pierre Carreau photographs the Caribbean ocean. Having lived in Saint Barthélemy, he has spent years studying how tropical light transforms the colour, texture and mood of water moment by moment. He distils the St Barth experience through turquoise, his carefully chosen visual lens for exploring the changing relationship between light and fluidity.

His images look like drone shots, but come from a time when they did not exist. Many hours were spent carrying a tripod on his back, selecting the perfect viewpoints in the mountains of Saint Barthélemy. The result is high-quality images with a remarkable level of detail.

Born into a family of artists, Pierre Carreau first studied business, then worked in IT. The artist won out: he took up photography, shooting surf action before the sea itself became his subject. Since 2004, Saint Barthélemy has been his open-air studio, where he captures the island’s tropical light and the moods of the sea.
