Passageways can lead us from one career to another. Frédéric Dekkal started as a molecular biologist until he opened the door to photography.
After studying lighting at the Verdier Centre in Paris, Frédéric was invited to work in Lagardere Press, which produced work for Elle Magazine and Paris Match. As a photojournalist he has photographed the President of France, the Prime Minister of Canada, and the Queen of England to name a few.
