  In Faces of French Cinema, photographer Fabrizio Maltese presents the diverse landscape of French-language cinema through intimate portraits of its directors and stars shot in natural light. All pictures were taken during private portrait sessions at film festivals such as Cannes, Venice and Berlin and on various other locations.
According to Maltese, "Photography, and portraiture in particular, is a strange way to get to know people. In a few short moments, I have to understand and find something in his or her personality that I find worth telling. I never ask my subjects to pose, I just give them space and light and let them interact with this space and my lens. I need a partner on the other side of my camera; I need a connection. Sometimes this can be so intense that I feel exhausted after the shoot, which is a very enjoyable feeling indeed.”
