From New York to Paris, photographer Richard Ballarian has traveled the world. He has died on February 24, 2018, at the age of 89 years.

Richard Ballarian had come naturally to the 8th art. A native of the suburbs of Rochester, the seat city of Kodak, he himself developed his shots as a teenager. He became known as a fashion photographer in the late 60s, and will collaborate with the most prestigious magazines in France. As a real director, Richard Ballarian explained that in photography ” we often work with natural light, but if we want to be able to work in all conditions, we must know how to play with it and know how to create it “. What he knew perfectly well.

Isabelle Huppert and Claude Chabrol, facing the goal of Richard Ballarian.

Less known, his more personal shots have been exposed in France in recent years. He handled with skillful color transformation, art of blurring and photomontage. ” Experimentation takes a big part in my work, and I think that my studies of physics have developed a love for me in this research “, confided the artist, whose father Hayg was from Trabizon even if he had done his studies at the American college of Marzevan, like his brothers, before leaving for the United States, at 17, in 1907. ” In Richard’s personal photos, there is never a face, they are only ghosts. His photos are out of place, out of time, “confided the historian and wife of the photographer, Pia Le Moal-Ballarian, who died a few months ago. As an echo to his repressed Armenian origins.

Richard Ballarian leaves behind clichés that breathe photography as he conceived it: an art where poetry and science combine to leave pensive the receiver of the image.

A religious ceremony will take place in the Armenian Cathedral of Paris, rue Jean Goujon, the date is yet to be specified.
