Philippe Ledru, graduated from the School of Decorative Arts in Paris, in 1974, joined the Sygma press agency, where for 17 years he traveled the world, as close as possible to major conflicts, festivals and the world of cinema.

"I do a job that I love!" having the opportunity to photograph personalities from “pop” culture — David Bowie, Jack Nicholson — as well as from the political and intellectual sphere, eg. a book of photographs on Simone Veil — “Simone et les siens ".

​

Today, after having taken over all of his photographic archives, he has chosen a very small number of images, such as this photo of Bowie taken at the film festinal in Cannes in 1984, and with his Arts Deco training, combines the world of photography and the technique of lithography, which allows for a new expression.

Exhibitions and galleries have replaced newspapers and magazines.
