Sébastien Micke (b. 1977) is a French photographer whose portraits have quietly redefined the visual language of celebrity. Best known for his work with Paris Match, Micke has captured the likes of Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone, Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro—not through spectacle, but through stillness and profound presence.
Micke’s lens resists the superficial. There is a reverence in his compositions, a cinematic patience that allows his subjects to unfold rather than perform. His celebrated 2017 portrait series of Lana Del Rey—later featured in both Paris Match and Vanity Fair—exemplifies his gift for revealing the inner cadence of a figure often cloaked in myth.
Working across film festivals, studio sessions, and quiet corners of light, Micke’s photography is not about the image, but about the encounter. His portraits linger, not because of who they depict, but because of how they make us feel—invited, unguarded, seen.
