Jean-Yves Brégand

Preview

The famous printer Jean-Yves Brégand died on May 17th, 2014. Ollivier Hersart, a photographer and longtime friend of Jean-Yves Brégand who supported him in the final weeks of his illness, wrote this tribute for us.

Jean-Yves Brégand started his career at the Central Color Lab. Then came the defining encounter of his life, Jean Loup Sieff, with whom he worked until the latter’s death. I could also mention Sebastião Salgado, Raymond Depardon and Kate Barry, whose work he also took pleasure in printing. He opened his own lab devoted to black-and-white printing in 1980 on the Rue Gassendi, then IMAGINOIR in 1986, in the Passage Montbrun. Jean-Yves devoted his life to his passion, printing, not just in black-and-white, but color printing, too.

Jean-Yves’ lightbox went out forever on May 16th. He was 65.
