Les Rencontres d’Arles 2009
Réalisation de l’exposition ’On n’a pas tous les jours 20 ans’
Rencontre avec Philippe Chapuis (Graphistes Associés)
Derrière les Rencontres d’Arles, il y a des expériences d’accrochage toujours surprenantes qui se renouvellent depuis maintenant 40 ans. L’anniversaire a été célébré dans les grandes largeurs avec l’exposition phare du festival : On n’a pas toujours 20 ans qui. Réaliser une telle exposition qui court sur près de 200 mètres linéaires et sur 1,6 de hauteur, c’est une expérience d’accrochage inédite qui a été tentée dans des délais extra court et elle est réussie si l’on en juge de la fréquentation record de l’exposition !

Forging Coherency:
The Path from Photojournalism to Fashion Photography
An Interview with Jean-François Campos (Nov 9, 2006)
A series of fashion images in Poster magazine by Jean-François Campos aroused our interest. Action-packed modern chic combines with a classical otherworldly airiness to form images that are full of fragility, melancholy, suspense, and beautiful strangeness. A quick Google search revealed that he is represented by the Michele Filomeno agency, an agency that has offices in Paris, Milan, and New York. Michele Filomeno was founded by the eponymous Italian agent 25 years ago, who also happens to have Peter Lindbergh and Javier Vallhonrat on his list of photographers. Although Campos has been doing fashion work for barely more than two years, he is no novice in the art of image making. He was in fact a quite successful prize-winning photojournalist for nearly 15 years.

Henri Huet - "I was a war photographer in Vietnam"
Meeting Horst Fass and Hélène Gédouin
For the past 30 years, the name Henri Huet (1927-1971) has almost been forgotten, just like so many other war photographers who lost their lives in the Vietnam/Indochina War. Yet he was a legend in his own lifetime amongst war photographers in Vietnam. However, renowned photo editor Horst Fass, ex-chief of the AP Press Bureau in Saigon, is determined to have things otherwise. After busying himself with the Pulitzer Price-winning exhibition “Requiem: By the Photographers Who Died in Vietnam and Indochina” (co-curated with Tim Page, with whom he also co-edited the book by the same name), where he celebrates the works of 135 photojournalists who lost their lives during the conflict, Horst decides to pay tribute to the life and work of war photographer Henry Huet, who was killed in a helicopter crash over the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos with Larry Burrows of Life magazine.

The Final Salute
Interview with Todd Heisler
3 years after Iraq, Todd Heisler, a staff photographer from the Rocky Mountain News, decided to follow Major Steve Beck in his notifications of death announcements to the families.

In this interview, Heisler talks about the behind-the-scenes of picture making.
“We got very close to the storyit was a very difficult subject to live with. I found it very difficult to raise the camera to my face sometimes”

James Hill
Somewhere between War and Peace
Photojournalist James Hill is sensitive to the intertwined forces of darkness and life that are inherent to the human condition. “When you go to a war zone, you naturally create barriers within yourself which filter the experience,” shares Hill, “you know this is a matter of life and death, but somehow, the ability to actually absorb this is very difficult.” In this video, Hill reflects on the duality of the war experience, and his commitment to be a witness of his times through storytelling that has depth and complexity.

"New Photographers 2007"
Getty Images forecasts trends in commercial photography
Interview with curator Lewis Blackwell
Design guru Lewis Blackwell, Group Creative Director of Getty Images, has brought the “New Photographers 2007” exhibition, an exhibit showcasing 35 new photographic talents around the world, to the trendy Parisian contemporary art museum Palais de Tokyo. These talents were chosen with a very global representation in mind, and “new” is by Getty’s definition “neither too well-known nor too obscure, but at the breaking point of forging an international reputation.” The ambition is none other than to pinpoint the trends of global advertising photography in the year 2007.
