Maximilien Struys Photography

🕰️ Retrospective: a photographic journey through time 📸 Being a photographer isn’t just about capturing the moment. It’s about telling a story, recreating a world — sometimes even reinventing an entire era. It requires research, intuition, sharp artistic direction, and above all, close collaboration with passionate teams. That’s the part of the craft I had the privilege to explore one year ago at Les Comptoirs Gustave, beneath the Eiffel Tower. 🇫🇷 A large-scale project designed as a tribute to the Belle Époque and to the French art of terrace culture: 🧵 historical research & visual references 🎭 period costume fittings 🎬 casting of models & actors 💄 vintage hair & makeup styling 📸 stylized lighting and cinematic staging A huge thank you to those who made it possible: – Jules Badarani, 1st assistant, and Emma Olivares, technical assistant — my incredible teammates at L3H - La 3éme Harmonique Production – Gaelle BAR-HEN & Sophia Benomar, outstanding hair & makeup artists – The entire Comptoirs Gustave team for their trust – Thank you as well to Raphaël de Lacroix for his help and advises on the costumes and on the fashion in general – And of course, all the performers who brought these scenes to life with grace and precision The result? A series of photographs now on display across every floor of Les Comptoirs Gustave — a poetic nod to a timeless Paris. Proud of this work, of everyone’s involvement, and of the emotion these images continue to carry.

📸⚛️🧠 Photographing a conference isn’t just about pressing a button. It’s about capturing energy, anticipating exchanges, becoming invisible — and yet being everywhere at once. A glance, a gesture, a sudden tension in the air: anything can turn into an image. 🎙️🌍 In Aix-en-Provence, I had the privilege of being the official photographer for the #RRFM2025 conference, organized by the European Nuclear Society. A week filled with debates, fresh ideas, focused faces, and discussions on the future of nuclear energy (#SMR, #AMR…). ⚙️🧑💻 But it wasn’t just about taking photos. It meant delivering them in real-time, several times a day, so the communication team could publish live updates. Anticipating, selecting, editing, delivering — all without missing a beat. 🔥🖼️ Huge thanks to European Nuclear Society for their trust. #conferencephotography | #eventphotographer | #RRFM2025 | #nuclearphotography | #researchreactors | #nuclearinnovation

✨ Un moment suspendu entre ciel et rêve ✨ Quel privilège d'avoir pu immortaliser le concert "Dans les rêves de Miyazaki" avec La Framboise Productions. Une expérience unique où le piano semblait flotter parmi les nuages, transportant les spectateurs dans l'univers magique du Studio Ghibli. Merci à La Framboise Productions pour ce moment hors du commun ! 📷 #ConcertSurLesNuages | #LaFramboiseProductions | #MiyazakiPiano | #MomentMagique | #concert
