Valentin Herfray Brings To Life His Birdseye View

With his love for dynamic movement and fisheye perspective, French photographer Valentin Herfray has made a name for himself with his colorfully engaging editorial work and a fateful celebrity portrait that started it all. After a mastering of iPhone’s Pano feature, his daring rise in photography led him to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, including his idol Céline Dion, whom he shot for his first cover for CR Fashion Book. Since then, Herfray has captivated attention with standout campaigns for Jacquemus and Diesel, along with vivid editorials in American Vogue, Vogue Italia, and Pop Magazine. Yet, what truly sets him apart is his unique approach to showcasing his work, unshaken by the next generation of technological disruptors emerging in the field. Using deep fake artificial intelligence, Herfray brought his photographic work to life to give Models.com a breakdown of how he got his start, a glimpse into his world and his creative process, and how important technology has been for him to redefine the boundaries of photography.
