ANTOINE VERGLAS
Antoine Verglas is a French fine art and fashion photographer known for his intimate, sensual portraits that reveal the vulnerability and strength of his subjects. With a career spanning over three decades, Verglas has developed a signature style that fuses classic elegance with a modern edge, often capturing moments of quiet confidence and raw beauty.
Rising to prominence in the 1990s, Verglas introduced a groundbreaking aesthetic to fashion photography, one that favored natural light, unguarded moments, and emotional honesty over artificial perfection. His early work, notably the iconic “Verglas Signature” series, featured supermodels like Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, and Stephanie Seymour in settings that felt more personal than posed. This approach redefined the visual language of glamour, making space for authenticity in an image-obsessed industry.
A master of analog photography, Verglas often shoots on film, using it to enhance the softness and immediacy of his compositions. His photographs, whether editorial, commercial, or fine art, exude a timeless quality, rooted in his respect for classical technique and human connection.
Verglas’s work has been widely published in magazines such as Vogue, GQ, and Sports Illustrated, and exhibited in galleries across Europe and the United States. Today, he remains a prominent voice in contemporary photography, celebrated for his ability to balance sensuality with sophistication, and storytelling with spontaneity.
For collectors of contemporary photography, Antoine Verglas represents a masterful blend of timeless elegance, intimate portraiture, and iconic style. Best known for his signature approach to natural light and candid composition, Verglas brings a rare authenticity to fashion and celebrity photography.
Each limited edition photograph is signed and numbered by the artist, with carefully controlled edition sizes to maintain exclusivity and long-term value. His images—whether capturing the vulnerability of a supermodel or the quiet strength of an icon—are instantly recognizable and deeply evocative.
