The French photographer eagerly seeks out rain and snow to capture his atmospheric snapshots. The challenging weather conditions create unique lighting scenarios that add depth to his motifs. While Jacrot's subjects may evoke a sense of film noir, they are intentionally rendered in vibrant colors. For over a decade, the name Christophe Jacrot has been synonymous with the art of capturing landscapes, be it urban or natural, influenced by the ever-changing weather. In his work, weather conditions are always extreme, with the city viewed through a windowpane dripping with rain or draped in a curtain of snow. His images perfectly encapsulate the beauty of megacities transformed by the weather, evoking a sense of perfection and poetry.

In the realm of nature photography, it becomes evident that he holds a strong preference for the latter.
