Christophe Gilbert is a Belgian photographer from Bruxelles, specialized in visual art. He is a self-made artist but he studied by working as an assistant for a well-known car photographer in the early 80s. Much of his work can be labeled as advertising photography. Gilbert realized that in advertising it was not about what you see, or even how you see things, but about how you wanted things to be seen. I really like his simple use of the human body and its interaction with the surrounding space. His digital manipulation skill is off the charts and something that is rarely seen. His clever use of human bodies to make up a larger image really gives the picture a different feel.
