Pascal Baril's People Portraits in Cannes
For over forty years, Pascal Baril has frequented the backstage areas of the Cannes Film Festival. His photojournalistic eye allows him to capture far more than the mere sparkle of the red carpet. Behind the glamour and 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 Film Festival and its icons. Between press photography and author portrait, Pascal Baril offers us a view that is elegant, humanist and timeless of the celebrities of his time.
This series would fit perfectly in a summer exhibition at Atelier/Galerie Taylor dedicated to “Cannes Icons.”
