Photo Elysée recently paid tribute to Deborah Turbeville, an American photographer recognised in the 1970s for her fashion photographs. But Turbeville is much more than that; it is a work on photography and its materiality. In collaboration with the MUUS collection, Photo Elysée allows us to discover a true female artist. It's challenging to classify Deborah Turbeville's (1932-2013) work because her oeuvre is rich in research and diverse use of…

This essay examines the role that photo-based imagery played in the immediate aftermath of Liberation by means of The Nuremberg Trials. The Allies and Soviets were confronted with what to do with the 8.5 million members of National Socialist German Workers’ Party and their millions of collaborators who participated in robbing, torturing, and murdering two out of every three European Jews, wiping out entire centuries-old communities. The Nazis killed so…

In contrast to the spontaneous nature of photography, Pawel Żak claims that his images are 'fabricated'. This Polish artist constructs minimalist stagings with a great economy of means, where the action takes place without a character, but where man remains the main subject. Pawel Żak defines himself as "a visual artist who uses photography". This distinction is reflected in his creative process, which is more concerned with producing 'inner images'…

"- Do you want a souvenir?” At the beginning of the 20th century, to have a portrait of oneself became accessible. The “photo card” met this expectation. Traveling photographers did go out to meet their clients at their places of residence or work or stationed themselves in busy areas such as crossroads, tourist places, resorts, spas or means of transport. They also benefited from exceptional events such as religious celebrations,…

In the limelight Since I began photographing professionally (in 1987), the nude has always been one of my favorite subjects, along with portraiture and fashion. Today, however, I'm forced to admit that for many years now, it has become increasingly difficult to exhibit nudes, whether in galleries or on social networks. Without going into sociology, it's obvious that various reasons are behind the return of this form of prudery, which…

Paolo Roversi: Between Light & Darkness Paolo Roversi photographs fashion like no one else. He is also an outstanding portraitist, creating images that are both soft and deep, and whose signature is instantly recognizable. His work is instinctive and irrational, as he likes to say. His world is made of fantasy, dreams and poetry. The aestheticism of his images is like an imaginary language created by the photographer. To celebrate…

This correspondence revolves around light, taking as…
