Jean-Baptiste Degez
photographer | film director
Photographer and director based in Paris, Jean-Baptiste Degez explores the dialogue between nature, materials, and light. His work spans landscapes, still life, and film, each discipline feeding the other. Whether capturing a sudden shift in light over a horizon or revealing the intricate surface of a jewel, he approaches every subject with the same precision and sense of wonder.
Trained at L’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he first embraced photography through travel and reportage before opening his own studio, where he developed a singular language rooted in craftsmanship and sensitivity. His compositions balance scientific observation and poetic intuition, revealing textures, reflections, and details that often escape the eye.
Between macro and wide landscapes, still life and motion, Jean-Baptiste creates visual experiences that are both contemplative and immersive. His images celebrate the passage of time, the fragility of matter, and the beauty of what exists between light and shadow.
