You may have heard of him recently, especially if you’re part of Paris’ fashion and photography circles. With his distinctive ‘cut-and-paste’ photographic technique, Damien Blottière presents a vision of photography’s future—crafted through the lens and hands of this French-born photographer.

Paris, March 2012: The design issue of Out Magazine arrives in our hands, featuring a captivating cover story on the ’80s enfant terrible of fashion, Jean-Paul Gaultier. The image evokes a compelling blend of past and future—modern and dynamic in its use of color, graphics, and atmosphere. This photographic feature perfectly captures the evolution of an ’80s icon, effortlessly transporting JPG into the present day. Through this transformation, Gaultier is reimagined from the ‘Enfant Terrible’ of fashion into the ‘Enfant Éternel’ of avant-gardism.

Prompted by the success of JPG’s 60th anniversary and his recent Diet Coke campaign, Out Magazine chose to feature a photo collage of the designer—the work of Damien Blottière. The result is a bold, pop-infused cover, shaped by the artist-photographer’s signature technique.
