Collapsible content

For over 35 years, Michel Comte has been one of the leading figures in fashion photography, rising to the apex of the fashion and editorial worlds and shooting for Italian Vogue, American Vogue, and Vanity Fair, among others. From 2006 to the present, Comte has worked almost exclusively with MILK Studios on photography and film projects that transcend the limitations of traditional fashion photography, utilizing fashion, portraiture, reportage, and now motion pictures in his repertoire. 'Michel Comte and MILK: A Collaboration' brings together never-before-seen imagery and film stills from Comte’s archives in what is a visual celebration of one of today’s great creative minds. Designed by renowned creative director Mike Meiré, Michel Comte and MILK will be released to coincide with the twentieth anniversary of MILK Studios’s founding.

Michel Comte was born 1954 in Zurich. Trained as an art restorer, Comte is a self-taught photographer. He was hired by Karl Lagerfeld in 1979 to shoot advertisements for the fashion house Chloé and soon after became one of the most sought-after fashion and magazine photographers in the world. In addition to portrait and fashion photography, Comte has also increasingly moved towards photo-reportage and documentary. He has traveled on assignment for the international Red Cross and his own Michel Comte Water Foundation in war zones and unstable areas including Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sudan, and Cambodia.
