It is a pleasure to feature an exclusive interview with one of the strongest names in the fashion photography field.
José Jeuland:Hello, Jean Baptiste. Great to have an interview with you about your fabulous work. Let's start with your background in photography. Did you study photography, or did your extraordinary high level come from autodidact learning?
Jean Baptiste Fort: Thank you for having me! I am delighted to be able to talk to you. I was self-taught, discovered photography in Los Angeles, and then it became a passion. I spent days working on my technique, learning about the history of photography, looking for ideas... But, with enough motivation, I think anyone can learn photography the self-taught way!
J. J.: Do you come from an artistic family? Is photography a "Tradition" in your family?
J. B. F.: No, photography is not a family tradition, except for the classic family photos. My passion came naturally from my experiences and travels and is totally independent of my family environment.
