Bruno Labarbère
Born in Thailand in 1987, living in France since 1992, Bruno Labarbère first intended a career as an automotive designer engineer. His life took a radical turn when he bought, by chance, his first camera in 2007.
Realizing that applied mathematics were not made for him and that he could just as well find in photography this mixture of art and technicality that fascinates him, he left his university in Bordeaux and enrolled in a BTS in photography in Paris… but never finished his studies, preferring to wander the streets of Paris, his camera in hand. Thanks to chance encounters, often in bars, he was, from 2010 to 2020, in turn salesman in Leica Store, head of the photographic section of the site LesNumériques.com, journalist for the French magazines Réponses Photo then Monde de la Photo. A decade on the technical side of photography stopped radically by the Covid-19 pandemic.
