About the Item

Born in Algeria in 1935, Jean-Pierre Laffont studied photography at Arts et Métiers in Vevey, Switzerland, before immigrating to the United States in 1965 where he began his career as a photojournalist. After joining the Gamma agency, he started to cover political events and followed the riots against the war in Vietnam and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. In 1973, alongside his wife Eliane, he co-founded Sygma Photo News, which rose to the top of the list of press agencies. During the next three decades, Jean-Pierre Laffont became a White House Correspondent, covered the Watergate story and carried out numerous political and social reportages throughout the United States as well as internationally in Eastern Europe, the USSR, China, Japan, India, Africa, and other developing countries. His images appeared in major international magazines such as Time, Newsweek, New York Times, Paris Match, Figaro Magazine, Stern and others. In 1979, he received first prize from the World Press for doing the first-ever photographic essay on the subject of child labor around the world. In 1996, he was honored with a retrospective of his work at Visa Pour L’Image and was named Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Two books retrace his work: Foreign Correspondent, published in 1996 by C.D.P. and Photographer’s Paradise: Turbulent America 1960-1990, published in 2014 by Glitterati. Laffont’s most recent series, Turbulent America, has been exhibited internationally at Moscow Photo Biennale, Central Exhibition Hall Manege, (Moscow, Russia), Pingyao International Photography Festival, China, La Maison Europeenne de la Photographie (MEP), (Paris, France), Tri Postal, (Lille, France), Musee de L’Arsenal, Metz, (France), and Eglise Saint-Vincent, Merignac, (France).
