Victor Boccard is a French photographer and film director based between Paris and Tokyo. Trained in cinema, he began in performance before turning to filmmaking and later photography, developing a visual language rooted in atmosphere, symbolism, and emotional restraint. A defining trip to Japan in his youth created a lasting bond with Asia and a sense of in-between-ness that continues to shape his work across cultures and disciplines.

He shoots primarily on Hasselblad, favoring a slow, composed process that combines analog and digital techniques to create images of quiet intensity — figures held in stillness against layered, often chaotic environments.

Victor has directed and photographed campaigns and editorials for clients such as Chanel, Rimowa, Louboutin, LVMH Métiers d’Art, Nowness Asia, Tatler HK, and GQ France. He just collaborated with singer Mikah for Isabel Marant during PFW26. He is currently developing a narrative film project between France and Japan, continuing his exploration of displacement, beauty.

Title: The Caravaggio Girl  

Location: Paris  

''Dressed in a knitted Balmain couture piece, she stands at the edge of light, echoing the dramatic chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, where shadow holds as much weight as illumination. Though simple, this portrait became a cornerstone in shaping my photographic style.    Elizabeth Wood was the very first model I photographed, and in this image, she entrusted me with embodying her as a modern-day samurai.''
