I look at them today with tenderness,…

In this photographic series of mine entitled "Denier", a metaphor for the heaviness of the stocking -a veil that nevertheless does not suffocate but…
With whom Arthur Elgort has not worked with, might be easier to answer than with whom he actually has, because the gifted photographer probably has shot for all renowned magazines. He has created portraits of famous models and fashion icons which stand out through their unconventional and refreshing style.

The Musée de l’Image in Épinal is offering a new temporary exhibition entitled « Icônes, les images fantasmées ». This questions the process of iconization, its evolution and its representation through the ages, from popular engravings to social networks.
