The glint of the sun setting on Nettle Bay’s lagoon, right by his<br />

childhood home, nursed Donovane’s earliest chips of passion for<br />

the pictorial realm which would end up becoming his job. After<br />

several stays in Guadeloupe for his studies – with the last one<br />

contributing to fully igniting his passion for the 8th art – this young<br />

photographer from St. Martin chose to settle on his native isle<br />

and conquer a highly competitive field with unparalleled ease…<br />

thanks to the profusion of feeling placed in every single one of his<br />

pictures, from portraits to architecture, not to mention fashion or<br />

weddings. And yet, it is his unconditional love for landscapes that<br />

we chose to work out in view of taking an insider’s look into the<br />

Friendly Island, severely impacted by a hurricane of unprecedented<br />

strength yet, conducive to the fresh impetus now tangible across<br />

the island… A most welcome invitation to (re)discover it.<br />

Les reflets du soleil couchant sur le lagon de la Baie Nettlé au<br />

bord duquel il grandit, esquissent chez Donovane les premiers<br />

éclats d’une passion pour l’image vouée à devenir son métier.<br />

Suite à plusieurs séjours d’études en Guadeloupe, dont le<br />

dernier finira d’embraser la flamme portée au 8ème art, ce jeune<br />

photographe saint-martinois élit rapidement domicile dans un<br />

domaine créatif hautement compétitif qu’il parvient cependant<br />

à percer avec aisance… Fort d’une sensibilité que retranscrivent<br />

immanquablement ses clichés, du portrait à l’architecture, de la<br />

mode aux mariages. C’est toutefois son amour inconditionnel pour<br />

le paysage que nous avons souhaité solliciter en vue de poser un<br />

regard renouvelé sur la Friendly Island, sévèrement touchée par<br />

un ouragan d’une violence inouïe mais propice au souffle nouveau<br />

qui la parcourt aujourd’hui… Une invitation bienvenue à la (re)<br />

découverte.<br />
