Zusatzinfo

Michel Comte, born in 1954 in Zürich and a great photographer, easily fits in the category of photography greats such as Peter Lindbergh and Mario Testino.

He was given his first advertising assignment in 1979. Since then he has been one of the most requested photographers in the industry and has worked on the campaigns of prestigious brands such as Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike, Lancôme and Revlon.

Today he continues to be one of the most influential fashion photographers worldwide. He has also portrayed several prominent figures for magazines such as Vogue and Vanity Fair.

The most beautiful women have no qualms about revealing themselves in front of his camera, while the same also applies to film stars, top models and top athletes. Last year, an admirer paid 91,000 euros at Christie's for a photo of Carla Bruni posing nude.

Comte has made photos for the International Red Cross Committee and has also founded the Fondation de l'Eau Michel Comte, which aims to provide access to potable water in countries where this is an extremely rare commodity.
