Charles Fréger has been pursuing an inventory entitled “Photographic Portraits and Uniforms” since the early 2000s. In Europe and around the world, with his series devoted to groups of athletes, soldiers or students, he is interested in outfits and uniforms. His first series was called “Faire face”, because for him, the encounter between photographer and model crystallizes in a confrontation that is distant on the surface, as if to better appreciate the thickness of being in the world and belonging to the social body. Body and esprit de corps are the mainsprings of these individual presences, where dress, understood as both pose and garment, materialize the “physique of the job” or the “habit of the monk”.
