“Gabriel Monnet: A Rising Star in Photojournalism”

The first was Frimousse. Cat. And then there was Roger Federer, Pope Francis, Greta Thunberg and Tony Parker. Gabriel Monnet captures others without damaging them, in the softness of a click that respects, sublimes, marks. The photojournalist jumped the boxes of the game of fate at the speed of light. He quickly understood that the objective counts, but that work and humility even more. So he won. Success – without the glitz and bragging it shuns. At 21, the Vaudois has already won two Swiss Press Photo awards. French-speaking media his images are snapped up, companies call him and agencies catapult him to immortalize burning news and sweaty athletes. And he advances in discretion. Without daring to dream too big anyway.
