Smague is more "old school" than "high tech". The tools of
his trade : a Leica MP, one lens, and loads of film. "I'm always seeking a
closeness and proximity to my subjects, which is why I only use a 35mm
lens". His camera gives him an excuse to go up to anybody to meet them,
and he will choose his destinations with a photography project in mind : the
Transsiberian train, the nomadic people in Mongolia, the ragpickers of Cairo,
the inhabitants of Chernobyl, prostitutes in Bangladesh...
A book of
his photographs taken in Iraqi Kurdistan is published by "Les Editions de
Juillet. Latest news : as a winner of the "Sur le vif" contest
organized by French magazine Réponses Photo, he has been given a FinePix X100
camera and told to bring back some shots : they had to explain to him what a
"digital camera" was.
