Renaud Corlouër

Né à Paris en 1977, Renaud Corlouër est immergé, dès son enfance, dans les milieux de la mode et de l’art. Il embrasse naturellement la carrière de photographe en 1994. Très vite, il s’affirme avec un style qui lui est propre. Il conçoit son travail comme un échange, une volonté de traverser le miroir pour saisir, comprendre et mettre en relief une personnalité. Ses photographies se révèlent à la fois intimes et iconiques. Elles restituent la saveur, l’authenticité et la complicité d’une belle rencontre. Les plus grandes stars de la musique, du cinéma, de la mode et du sport lui confient bien plus que leur image : une partie de leur âme. Artisan de la lumière, il s’efforce de les faire rayonner. En plus de vingt ans de carrière, il enchaîne campagnes d’affichage, couvertures de magazines et pochettes de disques. Au cours de ses nombreux voyages aux États-Unis, à travers l’Asie, à Cuba, au Brésil ou au milieu des sables rouges d’Afrique, il réalise également des portraits ethniques saisissants d’humanité et d’émotion.
