For the past four years, “Behind the Lens” has provided the public with a more personal and diverse view of the event, as captured through the eyes and signature styles of the photographers in attendance at Cannes. A daily rendez-vous in 2016.
François Berthier started taking pictures at 17 when his mum gave him her old Pentax K1. After his law studies, in 2002, he became a rock journalist. At 28, he was named editor in chief of his rock magazine.
In december of 2008, after 6 year interviewing famous rockstars, François decided that time has come to return to his first love, shooting women. He started a career as a fashion & celebrity photographer. 7 months later, he was shooting Lady Gaga.
