Persona

Francois Nars
François Nars, the esteemed French photographer, makeup artist, and founder of the luxe makeup brand NARS Cosmetics, found himself enamored by a new creative medium ever since he shot the first advertising campaign for his eponymous brand back in 1994. Since then, Nars has overseen every creative aspect of his brand and has authored two portrait books featuring his striking, modern, and visually dynamic compositions.
His latest photographic endeavour Persona explores Nars's fascination with portrait photography by showcasing an original portfolio of 150 new portraits, shot by Nars himself, of creative luminaries who have inspired him such as celebrities, artists, designers, musicians, actors, and other cultural figures. The timeless, intimate portraits of these talented individuals, all visionaries in their respective fields, are shot in colour against a dramatic black background with simple lighting, accentuating each subject in a bold and revealing fashion to capture their true essence and personality. With part of the proceeds made to a global children's charitable organisation, this volume is a true collector's item for style, culture, and photography enthusiasts alike.
