Thirty Years and Five Minutes

A trained art restorer and selftaught photographer, Michel Comte sprung to prominence in 1979
with his first advertising commission for Karl Lagerfeld's fashion label Chloé. One of the top names
in fashion and magazine photography, his work has appeared in Vanity Fair and Vogue. His subjects from the realms of art, music and entertainment include Sharon Stone, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore, Mike Tyson and Carla Bruni. With a selection of Comte's most iconic images as well as some previously unpublished photographs, this massive volume spans his entire three-decade career. Chapters cover portraits, fashion and advertising spreads, nudes, candid paparazzi shots, as well as a series of photographs taken in Comte's favorite hotel room in the Paris Ritz. This versatile maestro has also focused his talents on documentary projects in Tibet, Afghanistan, Haiti, Cuba, and Bosnia.
