Sophie (born in Stockholm) is a documentary photographer. After studying sociology and psychology in London, she joined the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and turned to journalistic photography. She continued her career as a photojournalist, working for the Boca Raton News and Miami Herald. As a daily press photographer, she covered American society for four years (1992-1996). Imbued with this American experience, which deals with subjects that are rooted in everyday life and evolve over time, she joined L'Œil Public, a photographers' collective in Paris, where she is particularly drawn to subjects that are both human and heritage-based, focusing on the links between people and their territories.
Her photographic approach is recognized for its sensitivity and acute sense of respect for the Other, which she seeks to share in her teaching at the EFET photography school.
Sophie has received numerous prizes and awards for her publications, documentaries and films. The recipient of numerous public commissions, she has exhibited her work in Paris, France and abroad.
Cécile & Guillaume met at Gobelins, l’Ecole de l’Image, and have been a team for over 15 years both in the studio and in private life. They have 4 children. Their refreshingly contrasting world is the result of a close working relationship and an almost surgical approach to textures, materials, light and shapes, finding the right balance in graphic and colorful compositions.
As orders came in, Cécile took charge of styling the projects. Energetic, enthusiastic and inventive, with the unparalleled agility to be everywhere at once on the set, Cécile evolves behind the scenes of creation, like a Swiss Army knife on both set design and recipe production.

Whether it's revealing the spirit of a Michelin-starred chef's Signature dessert, calling out the ephemeral beauty of a poppy or translating a baker's savoir-faire into the soft heart of a butter croissant, Franck's emotional sincerity carries us along in each of his images.
If nature is the main source of inspiration for his personal work, Franck also expresses his talent through numerous communication campaigns in fields such as tableware, supermarkets, spirits, hotels and restaurants.
With his acute sense of light, his minimalist compositions and his extreme attention to detail, his photographic style reveals a language of elegance and simplicity, always with that something wonderfully alive that makes him one of the most talented photographers in his field.
He alternates between commissioned work and personal research. He won the “Prix du Patrimoine Gastronomique” at the Festival International de la Photographie Culinaire in 2016.
In 2017, he collaborated with the Notchup agency to create the packaging for Leclerc's “L'Origine du Goût” products. This project was awarded a Pentaward d'Or in New York in 2018.

Nyima was born in Crete in 1987. After studying physics, he entered the ENS Louis-Lumière and won the Grand Prix Paris Match du Photoreportage Étudiant. After graduating in 2012, he became Jean Larivière's assistant. His interest in color initially led him to shoot fashion series, which earned him a nomination as one of the finalists for the Picto Prize for Fashion Photography.
Today, his commissions focus on portraits and still lifes for the luxury sector. Light is essential to Nyima's creative process. He shapes it with audacity, looking for the twist that will provoke the unexpected and shake up our reference points. His images plunge us into an atmosphere far removed from reality, into another vibrant, sensual world.
At the same time, Nyima is developing a more intimate personal work through long-term photographic series with a perfect mastery of narrative and emotional qualities. In 2017, he was selected for the Planche(s) Contact residency in Deauville, where he presented his series Le souvenir des marins, whose prints are now part of the collection of the new Musée Les Franciscaines. In 2021, he exhibits successively at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the InCadaqués international photography festival. At the end of 2022, he publishes L'Adieu du Minotaure, his first monograph, with the support of the agnès b endowment fund. This work is the first part of a research project combining poetry, alternative printing processes, Mediterranean mythology and family history.
Based in Paris and working all over the world, Sophie is a director and photographer at the service of live brands, advertising agencies and fashion magazines. She loves to offer her gaze to all and sublimate the universe of each one. Sophie works more and more in beauty fashion for magazines like ELLE international and prestigious brands like Dior, Alex Rotin, Valentine Gauthier.
Whether as a director or photographer, She is incredibly comfortable to steal the spontaneity of life and also capture the carefree spontaneity of children for customers as Catimini, Mustela, Petit Bateau, Teisseire, Lustucru and many others, but also for international magazines as Doolittle, Minimaven, Milan and Hooligan.
Sophie multiplies exhibitions around the world. Winner of Objectif Femmes, she has just won the 1° Photo Prize at the Florence Biennale and the Artavita Prize in the United States.
When Laurent began his career as a photographer in 1993, he won two important prizes: The Book Major Ilford and the Broncolor Prize at Arles. He was not long in lining up advertising commissions and editorials for the press, specialising in fashion and characters photography.
Today, Laurent divides his time between Paris and Toulouse where, in 2011, along with a team of professional photographers, he created Studio Lucette, a work tool and also a place where artists can exchange. His credo is the ‘non-photo’, the unconventional photo, a photo that is not frozen but conveys emotions or some unexpected discrepancy. He shoots without setting down his camera in order to obtain a ‘true’ photo, marked by the total absence of formatting and formal aestheticism.
In 2006, his desire to translate his feelings more fully led him to explore human stories and real life. His sensitive, intuitive look then blossomed in reportage and in culinary photography, two worlds bringing together what animates him: encounters, the poetry of daily life and the unvarnished product.
Born in Paris in 1986, Lucie Sassiat grew up atop the cliffs of Brittany. There, she developed her obsession with raw beauty, light beams, white dresses and the fierce blueness of the sea. Haunted by the muses of Antiquity, she strives to reveal in her images a contrasting version of the feminine: truth and falsehood, revolt and melancholy, which she stages using young women as models, alone or in tribes.
An avid globetrotter, Lucie captures stolen moments in the four corners of the earth but she also – and especially – enjoys photographing women, fascinated by their place in the world and the way they move there. The heroines of her images have a story to tell; their heads are full of grief or laughter. She likes to create a link with each one of them and literally plunges into their eyes to find her inspiration.
Her work is a fervent evocation of Francesca Woodman, Françoise Sagan, the witches of the 21st century, or again, the music from ‘The Piano Lesson’. Lucie regularly works for the press and for the fashion industry, where she displays her taste for natural light and for soft, cheerful stagings.
