Privileging a taste for the real and extremely varied geographies, Raymond Depardon produces photo-reportage from around the world, often linking it to texts or notes. His desire to explore a territory or an idea exhaustively constitutes a major element of his work. As a result, from 2004 to 2010, he traversed the roads, regions, and landscapes of France with just an 8 × 10 view camera.
