Theo Gosselin is a French photographer. He is mostly famous for his bohemian pictures taken during different road-trips around the world.  Deliberately cinematic, his photography reveals friends in the act of escaping from their regular lives into newly enticing and perilous modes of existence, ever in search of the persistent though elusive idea of freedom.

Theo Gosselin pictures, like Justine Kurland, are a true homage to freedom, captured like a snapshot. His favourite themes are life, love, his generation, his adventures, and large spaces; in definition a youth thirsted for freedom and an alternative living, where human values and harmony with nature dominate.

Passionate about drawing, music, and cinema, he chose a path through the art school, and graduated in 2012 as a graphic designer in Amiens. He started photography around 2007 and chose to pursue and develop this. He loves to capture the simple life, love, good and bad moments, his friends and his adventures. Gosselin is an eternal traveller and shares his way of life with the people he loves; because the truth is in wide open spaces and in the heart of the characters he meets along the way.

His work is simple but heart-breaking, pictures which speak the language of feelings and true emotions. Without artifices or lies, the young photographer captures the intimacy with tenderness and accompanies to adulthood.

This image is a good example of photos I want to be taking. The focal point of this image is the two people, however the viewers eyes are drawn to their surroundings. It looks like they are in a service area restaurant and it makes you wonder what their story is, are they runaways? Are they on their own adventure? Are they lost? I want my images to create this kind of atmosphere.
