BIOGRAPHY JEAN-MICHEL TURPIN
Jean-Michel Turpin began his career as a photojournalist in 1985, working as a freelancer for the French magazine press and joining the staff of the Gamma agency from 1991 to 2004. Regularly published in the most important magazines, his work has been rewarded several times. Today he is again independent and continues his collaboration with the press and publishing. He alternates between social issues that he covers over time while continuing to cover French and international news.
Since 2006, he is also the photographer of the program "Rendez-vous en Terre Inconnue" of Frédérique Lopez. In 2010, he associates for the first time writing with photography by publishing "On the scene of the crime" and in 2011 in "September 11 New York", prefaced by Jean Christophe Rufin. The following year, in duo with the photographer Gilles Bassignac, he published "Les Français dans l'Objectif" a series of three hundred portraits of French people. In 2016, he was the photographer on the film "L'école buissonnière" by Nicolas Vanier. Settled for three years at the gates of Chambord, it is as a privileged and passionate neighbor that he marvels at the wilderness that surrounds him and never tires of discovering every day the different face that offers him, to what is for him, the most enigmatic, the most bewitching of buildings: the castle of Chambord.
