FRANÇOIS HALARD VOL. 1 BOOK

This extravagant volume includes the great work of today’s most renowned interior photographer. One of François Halard’s first commissions was to photograph Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic Parisian flat when he was just a little over twenty years old, consolidating his reputation as one of the most original lenses of our times. His unique photographic sensibility—elegant and bohemian old-world, accessible and personal—is instantly recognisable. Thirty years on, Halard still captures our imagination with his stunning photographs.
This highly anticipated volume includes Halard’s images of the wonderful homes of trendsetters, the most important artists and designers of the 20th century: Axel Vervoordt, Roger Vivier, Richard Avedon, the Duchess of Devonshire, Julian Schnabel, Schiaparelli, Carlo Mollino, Balthus, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, amongst many others, including Halard’s own homes in New York, Paris and Arlés. Photographed with his inimitable attitude, frequently showcased in Vogue, this book also reveals for the first time the most intimate “house portraits” that Halard would have photographed for himself, in which his personal vision stands out. François Halard will become a coveted and iconic figure for all lovers of interior design and offers us a master class in visual education.
