Jaeger-LeCoultre, a privileged partner of the exhibition, further underlines its commitment to photographic and artistic creation by displaying the exclusive portraits of Lorenzo Agius in the Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique of Cannes from 12 May – 5 July, 2010.

Sumptuous, unique and sensual shots, taken by Lorenzo Agius, one of the most talented portrait photographers of his generation: "I have had the amazing good fortune to meet and photograph some of the greatest celebrities. For me, a portrait isn’t just about taking a photo, it’s about capturing emotions, why someone smiles, laughs or cries. It’s about who they really are, not just what they show. What interests me is the very essence of the person".
