Yves has demonstrated his own artistic expression as a photographer featuring in a number of expositions at Tap Gallery including a surrealistic solo-exhibition Under Construction (2011).  His patronage continues as does his passion for the arts of today as founder of The Yves Hernot Prize Photographic competition, hosted online in April at Courrier Australien, judge of annual exhibitions including Nudes on TAP as part of the HEAD ON Photo Festival, 16-22 November 2021, at TAP Gallery.
