“Felix’s father, Franc Thriard de Laforest (1838-1911), was one of the pioneering photographers in Eastern Europe. For decades, in my city, “Studio Laforest,” first led by Franc and later by his son Felix, was synonymous with photography. Felix took my first photographs in his studio when I was less than a year old. Six decades later, I found Felix’s studio in almost its original condition. This project was a nostalgic and emotional journey that brought me back to my roots while also paying homage to the work of the Laforest family.”
