About the Author
David Maupilé
Politicians, dock workers, actors or CEOs in front of my camera are all the same. I basically meet everyone with deep respect and true interest. Exciting people, beautiful places and good light are the ingredients for a good image. My ability to achieve an excellent result even under the most adverse circumstances is what distinguishes me. I seem to succeed again and again in taking people's natural shyness in front of the camera, to let them be completely natural in their gestures and to show themselves despite their insecurity. Good preparation, my experience but also spontaneity and flexibility help me. I can think in single frames, but I can also tell stories. For me, photography is the key to the most diverse worlds. I can move well in many worlds and feel at home in them.
