BIOGRAPHIES
André Héliou
Freelance photographer for 50 years, my passion began at the age of 12 when I won a competition. First music in Brittany, then festivals across France where I immortalized legends. In the ’80s, I discovered Cannes, first on the side, then accredited thanks to a meeting in 1996. Since then, I’ve been capturing the magic and excitement of this festival.
Christophe Chevalier
Passionate about digital photography and computers, Christophe worked for 20 years in a prestigious Parisian lab. In 2006, he co-founded Osmose, collaborating on major film events. Becoming independent in 2016, he is both photographer and graphic designer. He was awarded the Prix des Photographes at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018 and has exhibited in Essaouira and Alabama.
