His photos are out of place, out of time, “confided the historian and wife of the photographer, Pia Le Moal-Ballarian, who died a few months ago. As an echo to his repressed Armenian origins.
Richard Ballarian leaves behind clichés that breathe photography as he conceived it: an art where poetry and science combine to leave pensive the receiver of the image.
