About Jean de Malet

Jean de Malet

I descend from a pioneer of colour photography. A rigorous approach to images was passed down to me before words.

I am 26, married to a Bordeaux native who is completing her medical studies. Being young sharpens my standards.

I love straightforward people, adventure, and stories that leave a mark.

My mission is for the photos to feel so alive that you can relive that day again and again.

Putting people at ease and recognising the right moment: that trust is where the most truthful images begin.

I work in both French and English, from the first conversation to the delivery of the photographs, making the experience straightforward for my international clients.

"I was thirsty to create images with real meaning, images built to last.

I wanted to capture stories, moments and emotions that would endure."

What I look for can't be captured twice: a certain look, a precise light, a moment that won't come again. That pursuit of the exact detail runs through every wedding story I am trusted with.

In recent years,

I've had the honour of documenting exceptional couples at a major threshold in their story.

As co-founder of École de Malet, I now train the next generation of artists.

The client experience always remains my priority: it's by caring for every detail that my images reach their depth.
