Born in 1942 in Villefranche-sur-Saône, France.
Raymond Depardon renewed the photography and film reporting genres in his work as a filmmaker, photographer and special correspondent.
Co-founder of the Gamma agency in 1967, he joined Magnum Photos in 1978. Raymond Depardon’s filmed work, be it documentary or fictional, prolongs the resolve to confront reality already sensed in his photography. His capacity to combine both the political and the poetic is clear to anyone familiar with his work.
