Collaborations

More than a portrait photographer of celebrities, Roger Schall was a privileged witness to his time. From Gabrielle Chanel and Salvador Dalí to Jean Cocteau and Marlene Dietrich, he approached the leading figures of the twentieth century with remarkable closeness, never imposing his presence. His portraits transcend celebrity to reveal character, the intimacy of a fleeting moment and, in the background, the spirit of an era.
