Grégoire Grange is 37 years old and lives and works in Bordeaux, France.

MOSSLESS: Tell me about how you grew up.
GRÉGOIRE GRANGE: I grew up with my twin in a middle class French family. My father was a photographer and my mother an industrial drawer. I had my first camera round 5 or 7 years old. A Fex Indo imperia 127 and always shot pictures ever since. The second camera I had was Canon Ae1 Program, and I still shoot my pictures with this type of camera.

ML: You’re often very far from what you take pictures of. Why is this?
GG: Well these are generally persons or things that stop my walk and draw my attention for any reason. I then shoot that spot. I like the picturesque aspect given to those kind of framing, that make things quiet and still.

ML: What’s your favourite kind of film?
GG: I would say the French Nouvelle Vague, Godard and Truffaut but also Jacques Tati.

ML: What’s the best thing that happened to you this month?
GG: Taking a 15 day vacation in New York.
