Cédric VIOLLET

“In this cognitive distortion, you concentrate so strongly on one aspect of a task or a situation that you can’t even see the rest…
Your automatic thoughts all deal with this one concern.”

I was born in a small town in the West of France. Skateboarding since age 13. I didn’t get my first camera when I was five but I spent my time painting, traveling and studying history of Art.
The most important things for me is to take photographs and make surprise with images across the genres…My work seamlessly straddles portraiture, reportage and fashion photography.
I currently work as freelance photographer between Paris and London.
