Sophie Delaporte
Sophie Delaporte (born in Paris, France in 1971) is a French photographer and artist.
Biography
After graduating from l ENSLL (Ecole Nationale supérieure Louis Lumière),[1] Delaporte moved to London and started working for the English press. She met Terry Jones in London in 1998, who commissioned her first fashion stories for I.D. magazine.[2] Her pictures has been featured in magazines such as Vogue Italia, Uomo Vogue, Vogue Nippon, Vogue China, I-D magazine, Another Magazine and Interview in the US. Delaporte has produced photographs for brands such as Dior, Hermès, Lancôme, Astier de Villatte, le Bon Marché, John Galliano and others.
In September 2011 Vicki Goldberg wrote about her "Sophie Delaporte is a French fashion photographer who is on permanently good terms with fantasy and a cheerfully offbeat approach. She has a distinctive sense of color, a fabulist's imagination, an edge of surrealism, and a knack for ambiguous narrative".
Beside her work for fashion, Delaporte's art work has been shown in six solo exhibitions in London, Paris, New York and Tokyo, and also widely in group exhibitions and at international art fairs including Art Chicago, Bâle Miami, Photo London, ”Work on Paper” NY and Art Paris.
In 2009, Delaporte directed her first beauty film produced by Première Heure, in which the music was composed by Mirwais. In September 2011, Tim Newman asked her to create a concept and direct 50 short films for France Télévisions, about the artistic influence of France abroad.
