Arnaud Février Paris photographers

Arnaud Février is a French photographer based in Paris. He began freelancing in 1993, working in Lisbon, Beirut and Riga, and had his images published in city guides and Geo Gallimard. Between 1990-1997, he shot concerts for Jean Michel Jarre and worked with the agency Imapress until 1998, producing a number of reports highlighting the humanitarian disasters in Gaza and Iraq.

Arnaud's work was published in various newspapers before he turned more to portraiture, joining the team at MPA agency where he remained until 2004. Alongside his press work, Arnaud has developed a strong relationship with communication agencies to produce reports highlighting the men and women of today's societies. Attempting to reveal people's private life, he photographed refined portraits, but remains fascinated by the world of industry, transport and energy; the models have been replaced by planes, trains and boats.

Attracted by the moving image, he made his first video reports in 2014. Fascinated by new technologies, Arnaud uses his patent UAV Pilot to shoot aerial photos and videos. A recent assignment took him to Mexico, Bangkok and Hong Kong.
