摘要

"The idea was to develop new resources for the creation of new photographic work, using small and medium companies as investors," says entrepreneur Alexandre Solacolu. The pitch sounds simple, but when he presented it for the first time to Didier Rapaud, the former director of photography at Paris Match didn't believe for one minute that it would work.His idea was to create a festival -Photoreporter - that would use public and private funds to finance new bodies of work produced by independently selected photographers. Solacolu, who has made a career in sailing race sponsorship, turned to companies in Saint Brieuc in Brittany, France.
