Michel Comte Art
Swiss, b. 1954
From humanitarian assignments in war-torn countries to photoshoots with some of the world’s most prominent people and brands, Michel Comte is a celebrated contemporary magazine and fashion photographer who has worked all over the globe.
Collaborating with the likes of Vogue Italia, l'Uomo Vogue, Vanity Fair and Interview didn’t happen instantly for Comte. Born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland, the photographer began his career in art restoration, working on pieces by Andy Warhol and Yves Klein until 1979, when he secured his first assignment from fashion industry legend Karl Lagerfeld for French luxury house Chloé. Later, Lagerfeld arranged for Comte to work with Chanel, and from there, the photographer built relationships with numerous brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Gianfranco Ferre, Ferrari, Hennessy, Hermès, Lancôme, Jaguar and more.
Comte worked on photoshoots with many celebrities and public figures such as Mike Tyson, Miles Davis, Sofia Coppola, Elijah Wood, Tina Turner and others.
While keeping busy with shoots, Comte also found time to set up his own humanitarian organization and established successful fundraising efforts with the International Red Cross that focused on supplying clean water to countries in need.
As a passionate mountain climber, Comte became intimately aware of global warming and has worked for decades to increase public awareness relating to climate change. Comte scaled mountains by air and foot to photograph the changes in ice caps — often returning to the same locations all over the world in order to document the disappearing ice.
Comte has exhibited internationally at institutions such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the Kunst Haus Wien in Austria, the Verona Centro Internazionale di Fotografia and Munich Pinakothek der Moderne.

Michel Comte is indisputably one of the worlds most respected and recognized photographers. His iconic images are as memorable and influential as his subjects themselves. A natural narrator, storyteller and connoisseur of nuance, Michel has an unparalleled ability to capture the fleeting moments in between that reveal profound truth and unveil unexpected beauty.
Now living primarily in Los Angeles, jet-set photographer Comte was born and educated in Switzerland. A professionally trained art restorer with a keen eye for perfection and mastery, he was drawn to photography and learned his craft auto-didactically.
Quickly evolving into one of the most sought-after fashion and portrait photographers and as well known for his front-line reportage, Comte equally and instinctively connects to all of his subjects creating a charismatic and intoxicating effect which has become his signature style.
Comte has been a regular contributor to Italian Vogue as well as for American and Russian Vogue, Playboy, GQ, and Vanity Fair magazine. Celebrities clients include those from the film, art, music, fashion and sports world alike and range from Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Lautner, Pharrell Williams, Patrick Dempsey, Olivia Wilde, Mohammed Ali, Sean Penn, Sofía Vergara, Roger Federer...

A Nude Woman floating underwater. Her light skin stands out against the dark Water surrounding her. The reflection of her body on the water's surface appears like another person floating above her. Michel Comte is known for his rich, deep color palette, but Underwater photography is usually not a genre he works in, with this Series being the only example. This piece not only stands out with its ethereal beauty and peaceful atmosphere but also due to its uniqueness within the famous photographer's Oeuvre.

Mike Tyson is a legend even beyond the boxing world. This high-contrast black-and-white portrait shows a closeup of his face and chest in profile. He is holding a white dove in front of his face as if to kiss it. Contrasted by the dark background, the bird becomes the focal point of the image. The huge man holding it appears even bigger next to the small bird, yet his gentle gesture toward the bird gives the image a peaceful and meditative vibe.

All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request.
All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery.
In 1999, Star Photographer Michel Comte created a series of images capturing intimate moments with a young Gisele Bündchen in Cannes, France, for a Jewelry Campaign published in Vogue Italia. The highly praised artworks are now part of fashion and fine art history and are sought-after worldwide.
This black-and-white portrait shows the supermodel with wet hair and smeared makeup as if she had just come back from a swim in the ocean. Her head is tilted back slightly, and the look she is shooting the camera is somewhat condescending yet challenging. With one hand, she is brushing her messy hair out of her face, showing off the cigarette she is holding to the viewer. The grungy and rebellious image is juxtaposed by the lavish jewelry the Model is wearing: Big chandelier earrings...
