SALON DE LA PHOTO

Nov. 8 to 12, 2012

Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Paris


Sonia Sieff designed this year's poster for 
SALON DE LA PHOTO. When asked why she
became a photographer, she replies: "it's because I couldn't possibly doanything else." Born into photography, she took part in her first group show when she was 18. She then worked for ELLE, Vogue, De l’Air, and other publications. Her work focuses on fashion,
portraiture, and nudes, and she has made
portraits of personalities including Sister
Emmanuelle, Yan Pei Ming, Natalie Portman,
Evan Green and Kate Moss.

The "making of" devoted to Sonia Sieff's work
was produced by Félicia Massoni using a digital
SLR. After a short period as an actress, she
found her rightful place on the other side of the
camera. She has done portraits of artists and
videos as well as work for magazine articles
and documentaries. After filming the video
titled Le couloir de la night, Félicia Massoni
decided to use the new HD video technology
offered by digital SLRs, which enables her to
work alone on her favorite subjects.

The SALON DE LA PHOTO is for
professionals and the general public. At this annual photography event, more than 100 exhibitors, manufacturers, and importers display their new products and services from image capture to processing, printing, and sharing. Video, which forms part of the constantly growing and increasingly popular world of photography, is also highlighted.
