Jean-Marie Huriot

Jean-Marie Huriot was a French economist whose work centres on the complex fields of urban and spatial economics. Throughout his career, he held a prominent position as a professor at the renowned University of Burgundy, where he inspired many aspiring economists with his extensive knowledge and insight. Outside of academia, Jean-Marie is also a photographer based in the picturesque city of Dijon, France. With an artistic eye, he captures the essence of life in this beautiful region, exploring both urban landscapes and the tranquillity of nature. During the era of silver photography, he passionately documented family gatherings and enchanting travel experiences, developing a growing fascination for aesthetics that informs his artistry. He traverses the world with a camera, immersing himself in the myriad cultures he encounters and capturing stunning travel photos that reflect not only the places he visits, but also the deeper stories behind them. In this way, he reveals the nuances of human experience. Over many years, he has devoted himself to digital photography, carving a niche for himself as a truly independent artist who embraces the freedom that comes with his craft. Constantly seeking ambiguity and dreams that lie just beyond the physical shapes provided by reality, he is inspired by the serendipitous moments that arise unexpectedly, especially in nature. He approaches each shot with a keen sense of wonder. By capturing unique lights and vibrant colours, he strives to convey the transient and elusive beauty that often exists in the background of our everyday lives.

Through his lens, he aims to convey the aesthetic emotion intertwined with his subjects, as well as the delicate fantasy that can be found in a fleeting instant. His ever-growing interest in the contrasts offered by black-and-white photography fuels his creative exploration and expression, and his stunning pictures have been exhibited in various locations in France (mainly Paris) and internationally in cities such as Berlin, Oxford, Vienna, Aachen, Miami and New York, showcasing his diverse portfolio. Each exhibition not only showcases his talent, but also the unique stories encapsulated within each frame, inviting viewers to experience the beauty and complexity of his vision.
