Gilles Bensimon

About the Author

Sounds Like Portraits is a series of podcasts produced by Philippe Ungar in New York.

Philippe Ungar went to meet Gilles Bensimon in his apartment in SoHo, in New York. They talked about his dyslexia, his debut in Paris in 1967 for Elle magazine, the creation two years later of Elle US and his incessant search for his photos.

Elle's artistic director, he photographed all the stars. In tells us about his photographic encounters with Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson (to whom he was married for 3 years), Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker or Uma Thurman. Each time, he tries to get the unexpected through his photos.

A little lightness to start the year? Certainly, but as Paul Valéry said, "there is nothing deeper than the skin. "

An interview that begins with an essential question: how to make a nude in photography?
