Romain Boutillier - La Robe jaune

Born in 1974, he lives in Arles and works everywhere.
He begins by studying graphic design, takes acting classes, then explores making short films. It is by dabbling in various milieus of the visual arts that he comes to photography, starting out as an assistant to a portrait photographer in Paris.
From 2004 onward, he takes on assignments from the press and from publishing.
From 2007 to 2018, he collaborates with Hachette Editions as a photographer for the Grands week-ends guides; these commissioned trips allow him, in parallel, to develop his practice of street photography.
Since 2007, he has regularly exhibited, notably in 2023 at the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles with Lost in Camargue, in 2021 at Promenades Photographiques with Rue des sentiments, in 2018 at Voies Off with Intimes, in 2012 at Promenades Photographiques with Les vêpres, in 2010 at the Paris Photo off with XPLOAD.
In 2023, he published Lost in Camargue with Libel Editions, a 126-page book in a 26 cm by 26 cm format.
Since 2014 he leads workshops, notably for the Rencontres d’Arles.
His practice across several visual arts has nourished his eye with multiple references. His work traverses a form of singular aesthetic experience for each subject."
