Portraitist, Antoine Le Grand readily metamorphoses into a director, pushing his subjects to the frontiers of role-playing, creating for them film noir atmospheres, unforeseen costumes, extreme postures, parodic even ecstatic.
More introspective, his parallel works reveal a sometimes spiritual, sometimes sensual sensibility, which leads him to photograph in turn the imprint of ghosts in the night and the surrealist choreographic games of the Frenchman Philippe Decouflé.
