ERIC TRAORE

Born and raised in France, with a rich blend of African and French heritage, I developed a passion for storytelling through art and culture from an early age. Photography became my medium for capturing the textures and emotions of the world, leading me to begin my career at French Vogue. This launched a journey as an internationally recognized photographer, celebrated for creating striking beauty images and collaborating with renowned fashion magazines and luxury brands like Hermès.

Over the years, my work has been featured in many exhibitions at museums and galleries worldwide, including French Museum Fashion and Textile, The MET,Paris’s Palais Galliera, and Berlin’s State Museum. My photographs have also appeared in prominent publications, such as 100 Years of French Vogue by Condé Nast and Fashion Images by Steidl.

In 2020, as the world paused, I moved with my family to the French countryside to focus on personal projects, embracing the simplicity of daily life. In 2022, I embarked on a new chapter, relocating to New York, where I continue to explore creativity and storytelling through my work.
