Saying he had a career in Paris-Match would be a contradiction or even nonsense: there is no career in Paris-Match, we saw Paris-Match.
Leaving school at the time of the post war when France was rebuilt and when everything seemed possible, Claude Azoulay entered with a few scoops in the world this magazine began to tell the world that would become the reference. It was built in the newspaper run by people from all walks of life and who had in common, the elegance of the look, the art of living, to witness the passion and a sense, inimitable taste to the air time.

Brigitte Bardot, St. Tropez, July 1958
In 1954, he wears for a few months the bags of a technical star of the day Willy Rizzoni, and he learns very quickly to use the content. A photographer must see. This enables us to feel and understand. But we learn to see. Watch does not see. Then the student has made his way alone, feeding his passion for his meetings, but also from mistakes.

Brigitte Bardot, Cote d 'Armor, Brittany 1969
The charming, skilfully lit snapshot, refer to hundredths of seconds, the portrait, he practices every way - as we say in painting - an art whose purpose is unique: “What I photograph, it is man. Joys, loves, joys, celebrations, natural disasters, wars, nothing that concerns man is foreign to me. We like to keep the images of happiness, but it would lie about our human condition. ”

Yves Saint Laurent, Paris, July 1963

He did not steal their image, they sent their souls in a mirror attentive and caring. So it became a portraitist of our time.
