Formerโ Digital โฃMarketing Executive Now a Sought-After Photographer
PARIS – Rodolphe Debyser, a former digital marketing director, has rapidly โestablished himself as a respected photographer, attracting clients from the โcosmetics โindustry, French and international press, and a prestigious Parisian jeweler located on Place Vendรดme. Just two years โฃafter launching his photography career, Debyser’s work is in demand for editorial shoots, catalog production, and upcoming exclusive sales.
Debyser’s success stems from a unique approach to portraiture, โขfocusing on capturing authentic moments of vulnerability from his models.โ “It’s a job to direct them. I’m always looking for the moment โwhen they’ll let go. They’ll let something very personal slip through. It’s a photo within the photos. It makes for super shots,” he explained. He also emphasizes the importance of accurately representing diverse skin tones, noting, “Caucasian skin doesn’t lightโค up like Black or Asian skin. Black skin is great to work โwith but it’s very, very challenging. There’s a complexion and tone that shouldn’t be altered.”
Debyser credits a connection made through an international model for helping build his initial client base.โ He recently completed a project for the unnamed โคPlaceโ Vendรดme jeweler, producing approximately forty photographs โfor a catalogโ refresh. โขThe collaboration arose after theโค model he previously worked with recommended himโ to the jeweler when they sought a photographer.
Looking ahead, Debyserโ is preparing to โขphotograph high-end โproducts โคfor privateโ sales and โคisโ slated to work with both an international cosmetics brand and Frenchโ women’s magazines.
