Being Beauteous: A Photographic Community Emerges Outside Paris Photo

publication · 2026-04-24

A group of four photographers born in the 1970s—Anne-Lise Broyer, Nicolas Comment, Amaury da Cunha, and Marie Maurel de Maillé—have formed a collective around the enigmatic title 'Being Beauteous,' borrowed from Arthur Rimbaud. Their work is featured in artpress n°427 (November 2015, pp. 56-62). The group positions itself outside the official Paris Photo fair (November 12-15, 2015), suggesting an alternative photographic community. The article explores how these artists share a common vision while maintaining distinct practices.
