Philippe Jarrigeon
Born in France in 1982. He studied photography at the École Cantonale des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne (ECAL), a Swiss higher education institution known for its cutting-edge art education. He currently teaches at the same university, while also taking a wide range of photographs, from portraits of major fashion houses and celebrities to independent publications such as Buffalo Zine. His unique photographs, which use traditional and skilled studio photography techniques to reconstruct the visual codes of popular culture and 90s pop culture, have been highly acclaimed beyond the realm of fashion photography, and have been exhibited at La Galerie des Galeries and the International Festival of Fashion and Photography in France, as well as the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland.
