Philipe Robert

Philippe Robert is a French photographer with a degree from the Institute of Advanced Cinematographic Studies. After graduating, he flew to Los Angeles, where he studied cinematography at UCLA. Once his studies were completed, he spent his time working on several popular television shows in Paris and Los Angeles, where, while working for "Les Cahiers du Cinéma," he met people like Tom Waits, Robert Mitchum, Francis Ford Coppola, Jack Nicholson, and André Kertesz. During this time, he began his career as a photographer for SPIN magazine and confirmed his talent with numerous magazines such as L.A Weekly, Interview Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Time Magazine, Elle, Match, Art Magazine, Ritz, Sans-Nom, Glamour, Holland's diep... His first cover for Harper Bazaar was the last issue in the Guy Bourdin series.

He is accustomed to working with the world's most prestigious brands and top models like Linda Evangelista, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy (First Lady of France), and recently Marine Watch for Chanel and Nora Arnezeder for Guerlain. He describes this period as the beginning of an era, the era of supermodels, where they established themselves as familiar names, and global recognition was associated with their modeling careers. He also worked on a successful photographic project with the National Opera of Paris, where he photographed the star dancer ("Les Etoiles de Paris"). It was the first time the Opera allowed a photographer to shoot its stars in the studio. This series was published and exhibited everywhere, including in Slyle magazine in France.
