Didier Massard (France, b. 1953) is a commercial photographer and photo editor. In addition he does autonomous work, consisting of what is called "table top" photography. Like a theatre director, he constructs models of highly imaginative scenes, which he then lights and photographs. "Imaginary Journeys" is a series of fairy tale landscapes. With cunning lighting and an eye for detail, Massard creates deceptive illusions with an aura that recalls Magical Realism in painting.
