Biography
My name is Thierry M. Pajot, born in 1960 in France.
I live both in Amsterdam and Corsica, being most of the time on the road.
I am a father of 3 children and have 3 grandchildren.
I was in business for over 30 years: CFO, Judge at Trade Court, Finance Adviser to Philippe Stark Company
Since early 2021, I travel around 9 months a year.
I am now a photographer, writer www.thierrypajot.com and French teacher online www.thierrympajot.com.
I take photos when I get emotions, to share them with viewers.
Sceneries, landscapes, people, models, objects, cars, nude, motos, architecture, design, animals.
I do black and white and colours.
There are no rules for a good photo.
Dare, be there, imagine.
I like to think that viewers are kind of travelling with me, wherever they are, wherever I am, next door or far away.
I need angle, timing, light, framing, and chance.
Every photo has its own story.
Some can be said, some not.
Every photo is a creation
This website is dedicated to Juliette, great photographer.
A photographer doesn't exist without obsessions.
La photographie est l'éloge de chaque moment en tant qu'il ne ressemble à aucun autre ; personne ne peut faire la même photo.
You don't take a photo , you make it. - Ansel Adams
Creativity is a wild soul and a disciplined eye
If you think that adventure is dangerous, then go with routine, it's dedly boring. - Paulo Coelho

Testimonial
"Thierry M. Pajot as a photographer,
He captures human interest and how people in different communities live.
The images encompass the concept of photo travel and the story of people...the story of how and where individuals are in their daily life, activities, their forms of recreation and celebration.
He brings the human interest of a photojournalist into a photo travel image simply, his composition brings a dimension to these images which makes them very compelling for the viewer."
