Richard Dumas
French photographer mainly living and working in Rennes (France).
Richard Dumas is not a portraitist, but a photographer. It has been said that another Richard (Avedon, not to mention him) was a socialite and a star because he photographed celebrities, or that he was a “fashion photographer” because he devoted a number of years to re-inventing the way of putting the cloth in images!
Be assured, he is simply one of the essential artists in the history of 20th century photography.
