What is it like taking selfie photos on the Red Planet? Julien Mauve, an author photographer from Paris unravel what is it like having selfie photos and imagining life as a tourist on the Red Planet.
Julien Mauve created a photo series, which he named it "Greetings from Mars." These photos won an award as Sony World Photography Award in 2016 for professional conceptual photography category. The concepts of this photo series are space exploration and discovery. It is also about the behavior in front of landscapes and how you create pictures that could share your personal story with the world.
Mauve said that in every spot he stopped, carefully chosen for their resemblances with the red planet, he imitated stereotypical tourist poses. He further said that it's interesting to observe the way they act in front of the camera, how they include themselves in the landscapes, how those landscapes prompt the desire to affirm their presence. And how the way they take pictures exposes the vanity involved in their endless pursuit of self-definition.
Mauve added that he has been fascinated with Mars since childhood. He further said that space exploration and colonization are the best adventures of the century. The fact you may witness it in your lifetime makes it even more exciting.
