Frédéric Torressan is a Paris-based photographer born in 1982. Trained as a graphic designer, Torressan developed a real passion for photography during a trip across southern India in 2015. It was an opportunity for him to experiment with street photography and perfect his technical mastery. When he returned to Paris, the familiarity of his everyday surroundings made him feel uninspired. He realized then that he had to take a fresh look at his environment.

Through study, reflection and experimentation, he refined his vision, creating his own visual vocabulary. Since then, he practices a formalist everyday photography, sometimes abstract, often minimalist, with a graphical approach enhanced by a high-contrast black and white. When human figures appear in his images, he takes care to preserve their identity, instilling a certain mystery. He focuses on postures, gestures and clothing details that reflect the elegance, fragility or strength of his subjects.

By capturing these candid moments without staging, Torressan aspires to sublimate and harmonize the randomness of our daily lives.

Since 2023, he’s a member of the collective Street Photography France.
