Ora, François Rousseau's Tahitian Journey

François Rousseau's new book, Ora, is to be published on April 9. "After numerous voyages to Tahiti and its isles, the idea came to me for a 'Polynesian' album," says the French photographer. "As with all my photographic series, texts are at the origin of my images. In January 2006, Temehameharii Coeroli showed me his poems inspired by and impregnated with Tahitian oral culture. These chants have come to form the structure of our joint book. Ora is life, the source of life. Long before leaving for Tahiti, when I was preparing this voyage, this Tahitian word already figured in my notes as a possible title. Of all the words taken from Temehameharii’s poems, this one, as much for its sense as for its musicality, evoked all that I had loved in Tahiti during my earlier voyages and which I hoped to capture and reunite in this album." A special website with unpublished photos, video, music & making-of of the shooting has been launched for the occasion. Visit Ora's website here...

Ora is already available for pre-order on Amazon.fr, and soon on Amazon.com. Previous books by François Rousseau are available: Princes of the Sea, Amor Causa, Male Nudes, Locker Room Nudes/Dieux du Stade, Habibi NYC
