Germany: Along The Berlin Wall 1989-2009
The late Ronald Reagan once addressed Russian Premier Mikhail Gorbachev while serving as President of The United States of America during a visit to the Berlin Wall: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall"
In 2009, the world will observe the 20th anniversary of the peaceful revolution that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The event sparked profound transformation worldwide and marked the end of the Cold War and of the partition of Europe.
"I’m walking along the Wall, twenty years after, today the wall disappears but not in the memory. The Wall was completely removed and there are only a few parts that can still be found. One of the most asked question is: “Where is the Wall…"
Emmanuel Fradin's photo reportage Germany: Along The Berlin Wall 1989-2009, now appearing on Gaia Photos answers that question by taking a close look at the Wall today.
Gaia Photos is a new international photography source comprised of 41 photojournalists from around the world whose mission is to promote quality and diversity in documentary photography.
Emmanuel Fradin was born in 1977 in Saumur (Loire Valley) France. Divided between his dual passions of music and photography, he chose the later as a career.
In 1997, he went to Paris to join the Etablissement Cinematographique et Photographique des Armées that resulted in work for the First Minister of the government. Later he became the official photographer of the Prime minister at the time, Lionel Jospin, documenting his national and international trips. The end of the Jospin marked the end of Emmanuel’s work in the administration but he gained valuable experience in a variety of situations.
In 2001 he joined the Imapress agency covering French politics and culture but seeking photographic diversity, he became a paparazzi with the Angeli agency. In 2004, he decided to become independent and began working with Reuters and A.P covering politics, sports and fashion.
Emmanuel is regularly published in Newsweek, Time I.H.T., The Times, Libération, Le Monde, and he covered the French Presidential election for Stern. In addition, he was nominated by Stern for Tops China Festival Exposition and selected as a Rising Star of Photography of 2008.
Emmanuel Fradin is a nominee in the photojournalism category for his work on anorexia at the 3rd Annual Photography Masters Cup Awards.
Group shows include the March 2009 Fovea Exhibition Projection in New York "Along the Wall 1989-2009"
Emmanuel has been a freelance photojournalist based in Paris since 2007 and is available for assignments.
