Always original, Comte has found a new side to his male sitters, creating a remarkable collection of portraits over the course of his career. Introspective and sensitive, his male portraits are natural and unforced, describing the artist’s deep connection with his subjects and how he invites their intimacy and trust. Comte dares to go beyond traditional portraiture, shooting John Woo from behind or simply showing Miles Davis’s hands and trumpet, to create a greater complexity in his work. Respectful and dignified, Comte finds the true soul behind the famous façade. Comte has shot campaigns for Per Liu and his portraits have appeared in all major international publications.
