This way, you will be able to appreciate all their creations to the fullest. We attach great importance to promoting the new talents of tomorrow, but also to helping you rediscover established artists. We invite you to travel through their works and their biographies to discover the world, differently, through their eyes.

Flora et Philippe David

Thao COURTIAL

From an early age, Thao Courtial discovered new countries and cultures. From these early experiences, she has kept a fascination for the unknown. She lives each trip as an opportunity: to take the time to develop her imagination and stimulate her senses.

It is first of all painting that educates her eye and gives her a passion for images and composition. Vilhelm Hammershoi and Edward Hopper inspire her in her obsessive quest for light.

More than a place or a subject, it is the ephemeral and the irreversibility of time that she seeks to capture through her photographic approach. Her photographs invite the viewer to slow down and contemplate.

Julien Caretti

From Grenoble to Lyon, Julien Caretti trained in oil painting, illustration and engraving.


Working in these great mediums has shaped the way he sees and interacts with the world. In search of balance, he plays with composition and lines of force, the ebb and flow of curves, and the raw power that colour can have.

There is only one word for harmony, and yet a thousand ways to represent it. Sometimes it is found where we least expect it.

Roro Mawouane

Romane Lefebvre, her real name, has been drawing since childhood. It was during her years of study in illustration that Roro discovered that she loves working with colours and the emotions they give off.

Today, Roro has written, illustrated and published two albums for young people, the first of which was her final year work at the ESA Saint Luc in Liège.

In addition to publishing for children, she also works on all kinds of projects, such as illustrations for magazines, murals or illustrations for puzzles, etc.

Her main sources of inspiration are her own emotions, but above all she wants to spread joy with bright colours and dynamic compositions. She is also inspired by landscapes or the world of summer, which is her favourite season, as well as small moments of life that she can observe in everyday life.

Her illustration series for David & David Studio transports us into her offbeat world of saturated colours, featuring funny animals and fantastical landscapes.

Catherine Bailly-Cazenave

Catherine Bailly-Cazenave is an author and photographer with a keen interest in art and images in all their forms.

During her many trips to the United States, she has documented a certain nostalgic America, due in part to her chromatic approach.She likes to capture vernacular American landscapes, revealing the banal and the ordinary by sublimating them.
Composition and geometry are also at the heart of her work, applied to architecture and minimalist urban contexts.If she likes to purify, she also likes to deconstruct landscapes through fragments to play with the lines and colours of which they are composed.

These timeless photographs, with their palette of luminous pastel colours, explore a sunny side of the American dream, combining nature and culture in framings that give pride of place to the purity of form.
Her motto is "Less Is More".

Marie Dehayes

Marie Dehayes is a French photographer who seeks to sublimate the unsuspected beauty in the simplicity of nature - and particularly the oceans - in a soothing, serene aesthetic.

Trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, she then explored the facets of graphic design before returning to her first love, photography.

For her, creating art is a deeply personal and expressive journey, driven by the desire to encapsulate emotions, stories and perspectives in visually captivating forms.
In sharing her vision, she aspires to invite people to immerse themselves in unique narratives and interpretations.

Estelle Rège

For the past ten years, Estelle has been immersed in a visual universe thanks to her various experiences in the fashion and luxury sectors with prestigious houses as Hermès, Paco Rabanne and Maison Alaïa. Her immersion in this world of images has not only been professional; it is also part of her educational background, with an option in cinema. This dual experience helped her develop a sensitivity to aesthetics and visual presentation.

Her childhood near Aix-en-Provence nurtured her attachment to this region, which has always been dear to her, with its colorful, charming villages, warm meeting places and magnificent natural landscapes. Living in Provence has allowed her to develop a deep attachment to people and nature, enriching her personal and artistic universe.

Her style is marked by her memories: saturated, vibrant colors, capturing the vivacity of Provencal life. Her photographs are a testimony to the beauty of the South of France.

David Guerillot

From an early age, David was passionate about art and creativity: first through music, then 3D design, before finally discovering the fascinating world of photography and digital art. His interest in technique and technology enabled him to approach this art form in a unique way, and to fall in love with it.
For him, photography is much more than just a captured image. It's a journey, an invitation to explore the world and lose oneself in the beauty of nature. Each shot is a play of light, a moment when art comes to life. Photography allows him to live fully in the moment, to enjoy every detail. For him, it's an adventure where every scene becomes a canvas.

Paola Hirou

Paola Hirou was trained in illustration at the Emile Cohl School in Lyon. There she acquired a basic knowledge of traditional drawing and experimented with a variety of techniques and mediums such as painting, sculpture and digital drawing.

Today she has developed a more graphic and refined way of drawing, using digital flat tints or gouache. She pays particular attention to colour, reducing her palette to a few shades.

Having grown up in the mountains, she later developed a passion for the ocean and began to represent it more and more in her illustrations. Nature is her main source of inspiration and she takes pleasure in retranscribing an atmosphere through the representation of landscapes.

During her first collaboration with David & David Studio she developed a collection of cheerful, graphic and colourful posters for children. In 2022, the "Bronzette" collection was born, celebrating the summer period, its aquatic activities and its gentle idleness.

Laurence David

Laurence David was trained at the fine arts school in Lyon. She started with watercolour, then oil and acrylic painting, and in recent years has devoted herself to photography.

For her, creation is first and foremost a work of the mind: it doesn't matter what technique she uses as long as she manages to recreate the image from her head. Her work today, between photography, digital print and painting, is the fruit of her artistic evolution and her accumulated experiences.


The plant world plays a major role in her work, which is often hybrid. We also find a taste for raw textures and organic materials, as well as the play of transparencies and overlays.

Akira Saito

Born in 1991 in Fréjus, Cedric Hayabusa has been passionate about images since his childhood, whether through films or video games, he has a very cinematic idea of everyday scenes.

Moved by a trip to Japan in 2019, it is a setting that becomes a constant, whether in the middle of Tokyo, in the streets of old Hong Kong or during a thousand-year-old pilgrimage in the Japanese Alps.

As an observer of the spectacle of life, he wanders the streets in search of a singular moment to capture. A hunter of moments, he turns each framing into a cinematographic drama by treating his subjects as elements of scenery to be orchestrated through the prism of the lens of his camera.

Baptiste Baland

Baptiste's eye for framing and image composition was first forged by drawing and comic strips.

His first camera, was given to him for his 10th birthday. But the young photographer soon began 'borrowing' digital cameras left unattended at family dinners.
A few years later, two friends with a passion for photography introduced Baptiste to landscape photography, particularly during the "heure bleue" long break.
It was when he fell in love with a British woman that he discovered the wonderful landscapes of the United Kingdom and the northern countries.
From then on, this passion would punctuate his family holidays and weekends, even the rainiest ones.

Philippe Vitry

Philippe Vitry

Philippe Vitry is a French fashion photographer whose sophisticated world is imbued with a sweet nostalgia. His solitary characters are inscribed in outdated and timeless places. Stuck in the wait for this impossible return, they bear witness to rare and fleeting apparitions of beauty.
In his series The Lonely State, presented by David & David Studio, the photographer takes us on a random journey through a disillusioned America, where the American dream seems never to have been fully realised. Desert landscapes, abandoned wreckage... as if an unprecedented catastrophe had suddenly buried all human presence, leaving as the only trace of our passage old machines, witnesses of a past glory.
