Welcome to this space, which is set aside for other Artists. Expect to see frequent change overs, the scene is set for a variety of artists to be featured here. Be they; old, new, well-known or obscure. This space will not be limited only to photographers, but will include other medias.

PIERRE MOLINIER

(1900-1976)

Although originally a painter, he moved on to photography late in life to produce a unique style of montaged self-portraiture. His photography explored the themes of transvestitism and fetishism.

A loner in life, he eventually found his artistic outlet in creating haunting images. He was briefly attached to the Surrealist movement, although not one himself, when he met Andre Breton, who had been enthusiastic enough with these images to assist him with a solo exhibition in 1955

His suicide in 1976 has only contributed to the darkness and claustrophobia that his work portrayed.

sdtfoto.com is always interested in what other people are doing out in the big wide world. Afterall, there's more happening than what the media can tell us about. So if you think there is some one that should be the guest artist, contact me at info@sdtfoto.com (2005)
