One life, one passion…Outstanding pictures.
As it is a well known fact, the understanding of any message entirely depends on the emotion it conveys…
When setting up is not enough anymore, you need to find the right tone which goes beyond the right word.

Some outstanding and magical moments.
Each event, each brand has its own world. Alain Ernoult perfectly succeeds in creating a specific environment mainly composed of what he feels, especially when it is difficult… This man really has a talent in creating a certain kind of discrepancy of his own that we would like to see more often. For the last 20 years, Alain Ernoult has been leading an exceptional career. In 1983, he realised his first report on the Patrouille de France. It immediately got him the front cover and a 15 pages long report in the GEO magazine. He was noticed by the international press because of his new perception of the subjects he was photographing which led the readers at the core of the action and gave a new dimension to mankind. His photographs were already making the front cover of magazines and illustrating the most important reports of the biggest and most prestigious magazines of the world such as Paris Match, Figaro Magazine, Life, National Geographic, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Stern… And he became a big name of the worldwide big report’s photography.
