Silver gelatin print on postcard paper, signed and captioned by the photographer “Pascal Baril” on the back

Pascal Baril's People Portraits in Cannes
For over forty years, Pascal Baril has frequented the backstage of the Cannes Film Festival. His photojournalist eye allows him to capture much more than the mere sparkle 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 imagination of contemporary cinema.
Shot in black and white or in color depending on the era, these photographs today constitute a sensitive memory of the Cannes Festival and its icons. Between press photography and author portrait, Pascal Baril offers us a view that is elegant, humane and timeless on the celebrities of his time.
This series would perfectly find its place in a summer exhibition at the Atelier/Gallery Taylor dedicated to “Cannes Icons.”
