Having devoted their lives to tracking the latest scoops, today it is their turn to be in the spotlight. Bruno Mouron and Pascal Rostain are the most well-known paparazzi in France and have worked together since the end of the 1970s when they first joined forces for Paris Match. Amongst some of the names they photographed for the famous magazine are Bardot, Marchais, Le Pen, Tapie, Noah and Depardieu. Encouraged by Daniel Filipacchi, they pursued their joint adventure expanding their experience across the Atlantic as they immortalised the trash cans of Hollywood stars such as Brando, Nicholson, Madonna, Michael Jackson and even Ronald Reagan. They displayed the result of this project at a large exhibition held at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. In 2012, they published their book “Famous” and became the heroes of a comic strip “Chasseurs de scoop” (meaning Paparazzi). In the first, they invite us to (re)discover the most glamorous stars caught in their lens. This series of pictures was recently on display at the Palais de Tokyo contemporary art centre and the A.Galerie. In Bandol and the Salle Flotte in Sanary-sur-Mer, our two photographers have mined their archives to bring us some of the highlights of the Mediterranean Dolce Vita. Visitors will be able to admire some great portraits of Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
