Born in 1968, Sébastien Cailleux discovered photography when he became an adult, encouraged by a 1948 Leica M3, given to him by his grandfather. Straightaway it became his passion and very quickly his vocation. Trained at the CFPJ (Centre de formation professionnelle des journalistes) in journalism as a reporter-photographer, it was in the show business milieu that he started his career… before taking on in depth news features , going for extended periods to Asia, Africa and America. Passion for photography, for him it’s above all a passion for other people. Each assignment becomes a global experience, a cultural and humane immersion. In 2009, Sébastien Cailleux founded the École d’art au village (Edaav), an educational, cultural and artistic organisation, whose aim is to make the world’s children sensitive to the discovery of their heritage and to practice art.
