Artist Bio :

Born in France, son of Roger Giquel, one of the founders of modern French journalism, Thierry is the quintessential artist who chose to express his visions through the art of photography.He learned his trade the hard way, working for long years as a press photographer for France's leading TV station TF1.He covered various social, political or artistic events, as well as major military conflicts across the continents, in Europe, Africa, Asia, the USA and the Middle-East.

After that, he moved naturally to the extended word of photography in advertising, fashion and covered world-famous events and provided portraits of celebrities from around the world.

Since 1999, his private life has been evolving around the Middle-East, moving according to events, between Lebanon, Egypt and back to France.His work as photographer was of course affected by this change.

In Egypt, he covered various subjects related to the movie industry, its stars, the song and music scene, as well as advertising.

In Lebanon, he became a regular photographer for magazines covering architecture, interior design and fashion.He has held major individual photo exhibitions in France, Europe, Lebanon and finally Egypt.

Besides his professional assignments, Thierry has shown his versatile visions through his personal research to capture furtive “Stolen Moments” of life as he sees it.

This retrospective exhibition covers that aspect of his research.
