Exposure: Alain Laboile

We haven't had an Exposure post in a while! So without further ado... Born on May 1, 1968 in Bordeaux, France, Alain Laboile is a photographer and father of six. In 2004, as he needed to put together a portfolio of his work as a sculptor, he acquired a camera, and thus developed a taste for macro photography, spurred by his passion for entomology. Later on, he pointed his lens towards his growing family which became his major subject : a life on the edge of the world, where intemporality and the universality of childhood meet. He just received a custom Leica M Monochrom, and is currently working on a book of Leica M Monochrom images and coordinating exhibition. Catch up with Alain on his website, on Facebook or LensCulture.
