Seeing all the sides of Eric
The multifaceted art director.
Eric Bouvet (born 1961) began his photographic career in 1981 after studying art and graphic industries in Paris.
His interest in photography was sparked when, at the age of 8, he watched the first live television images of the Apollo 11 mission landing on the moon. It was then that he realized the importance of news and historic moments, not to mention capturing them on film.
The art director's role
The art director of Rendez-vous • Image chooses the authors / works to be exhibited. This carte blanche for a single person gives a pronounced character to the exhibition. The result of the selection process is therefore fully respected.
All art directors have a strong personal practice in photography. They are often graduates of an Applied Arts school, and their career, commitment and photographic production endow them with an undisputed place in the world of photography.
Their experience and professionalism make them exceptional art directors who will take a critical but kind look at the applications presented and who will significatly contribute to an extraordinary exhibition experience.
