Yves Hernot

The name of HERNOT is originally from Britany from the city of Landivisiau and its region. The Hernot's family descends from the Juloded aristocraty a wealthy Breton cast known as Julod or Juloded in pluriel of indigeneous background, The Juloded are descibed in books as half-nobles. Before the French revolution the Hernot's were described as Honorable.
In 1789 the cast of Juloded represented about 500 Bretons families of indigineous background or about 3000 people. From the 15th century onwards the Julodeds built, paid for and decorated the famous " enclos paroissiaux " of the triangle d' or situated in the Haut Leon in the province of Finistere . They brought Flemish artists as well as artists from England and Spain to decorate their churchs or chapels.

These superbs churchs often in the Baroque style are to be visited if you intend to travel to the Leon province in Britany . Start with Roscoff and St Pol de Leon.

Personal comment:
Here I have selected a few of my works which categorize well where I am at now, My style can vary a lot depending on my mood and the circumstances. As originally a painter I tend to frame my images ;like a painting. My first preference is for abstract looking works.
I like my photos to be simple., I like street journalism, documentary ( historical ), personal installation, staged photos with a message,
All photos can be developed in bigger sizes on paper, plastic, canvas if required.
