Born in Villefranche-sur-Saône in the Auvergne in 1942, this farmer’s son took his first photographs at the age of 12 on his family’s farm. Raymond Depardon is cut from the same cloth. This closeness can be traced back to the photographer’s childhood.

His intimate images tenderly portray their often-simple existence. Before photographing them, he spends time getting to know them and earning their trust. He tells the stories of those who never make the news. Raymond Depardon is one of the most respected French photographers, and for good reason.
