Designer Portraits

En • During my years studying graphic design, drawing, and typography, I had the opportunity to meet some of the world's greatest designers.

Passionate about photography, I never missed a lecture or an exhibition opening, always hoping to capture their portrait.

I would also ask for their business card—a small 30 cm² object that distilled their graphic universe and visual identity.

The lighting conditions were almost always challenging, the grain omnipresent, and the emotions captured at ISO 6400.

Fr • Durant mes années d'étude de design graphique, dessin, typographie et photographie j'ai eu la chance de croiser les plus grand designers.

Je ne ratais pas une lecture, un vernissage pour tenter de faire des portraits.

J'en profitais pour leur demander une carte de visite, qui résume leur univers graphique sur 30 cm2.

Des conditions lumineuses toujours compliquées, beaucoup de grain et des émotions à 6400 ISO.
