 Pierre Verger's modernity lies in his new way of representing the Other. He reinvents the codes of ethnological photography by offering a sensitive vision of the stranger, with an instantaneous and off-center framing. His photos, marked by respect for and appreciation of the image of the other, exude a great beauty.
