Pascal Baril’s People Portraits in Cannes
For over forty years, Pascal Baril has frequented the backstage areas of the Cannes Film Festival. His photojournalist eye allows him to capture far more than the mere glint of the red carpet. Behind the glamour and the spotlights, he reveals moments of grace, emotion and truth.
Actors, directors, singers and personalities from the artistic world parade before his lens. From Madonna to Marion Cotillard, from Isabelle Adjani to Penélope Cruz, his portraits bear witness to a rare closeness with those who shape the contemporary cinema’s imagination.
Taken in black and white or in color depending on the era, these photographs today constitute a sensitive memory of the Cannes Film Festival and its icons. Between photojournalism and artistic portraiture, Pascal Baril offers us a view that is elegant, humane and timeless of the celebrities of his era.
This series would perfectly find its place in a summer exhibition at the Atelier/Galerie Taylor dedicated to the “Icons of Cannes.”
