Jean-Régis Roustan has had a unique viewpoint on the international and French cultural, artistic and political life since 1961. Since he began working for L'Express Magazine, he has photographed the fashion world and immortalized the writers, painters and political leaders who have contributed to France's history. Always in between two airplanes, this photo reporter also covers international events: the Polisario Front (1981), the earthquake in Guatemala (1976), and his last reportage, the first Gulf War in 1994. Roger-Viollet is the exclusive distributor of Jean-Régis Roustan's 33 years of photographic reportage.
