Location Scouting | François Soulignac, Photography
“Location Scouting” is a series of photographs inspired by the aesthetic of photo journalism. My willingness is to catch objectively shapes and atmospheres of locations. All photographs are without watermark on purpose, to be useful for modelers and designer communities. About Location Scouting


“Videogames Digressions” are extracts from essays written during my academic work. It talks about gameplay, game design and art critics. It presents among an unexpected encounter between Denis Diderot’s art critics and video games. Read the essays (in French).
