Valentin was born in France and raised on a small island off the Atlantic coast. After studying visual arts in Paris, he moved to London in 2012, where he spent several years working as an art director. Photography, a lifelong passion, became his primary focus after relocating to Italy in 2019.

Now based back in Paris when he's not traveling the globe for work, Valentin has photographed stories for prominent publications such as the Financial Times, M le Monde, WSJ, Vogue, and Apartamento. His commercial clients include notable brands like Mango, Zegna, Net-a-Porter, Harrods, and Church's.

Working across both womenswear and menswear, Valentin's photography embodies a vision of elegance, simplicity, and poetry, capturing his subjects in a timeless, elevated way. He believes that the smallest details can evoke the most powerful images.
