Alexis Kavyrchine a toujours été très reconnaissant à ses ancêtres russes de lui avoir donné ce nom et ce prénom tout droits sortis d’un livre de Dostoïevsky ou de Tolstoï et aussi cette haute stature, ces cheveux blonds et ces yeux bleus dont, par chance, il a également hérités.

Alexis Kavyrchine has always been grateful to his Russian ancestors for giving him a) those last and first names that seem plucked right out of a Dostoevsky or Tolstoy novel ; and b) that tall stature, blond hair and blue eyes which, by chance, he also inherited.

Denis Lenoir is already a confirmed cinematographer when he reads Pierre Bourdieu’s essay, Photography : A Middle-brow Art.
The idea that ‘‘bourgeoisie dunces’‘ are particularly successful in photography - a way for them not to downgrade - has always interested him. Born in that milieu and a “lazy, lousy student,” Denis Lenoir totally recognizes himself in that analysis.
