Portrait of Samuel Lugassy
From literature and economics to photography
After studying literature and economics, Samuel Lugassy began his career as a photographer in the early years of the new millennium. He began to train with fashion photographers in some of the famous Parisian studios. He then specialised in portrait photography both in the context of advertising and press commissions as much as for his own personal projects.
The question of identity
The personal work of Samuel Lugassy aims to understand the identity of his subjects by trying to grasp their inner being through their appearance and how they are defined from the outside. His main works have had the inhabitants of the Lithuanian and Moldovan countryside as their subject as well as Bulgarian gymnasts and wrestlers. He has represented the latter in repose, in a staging which deprives them of the beauty which is so frequently shown of an athlete at full stretch. He is not concerned with celebrating performance but more concentrated on a presence
Success in the press and at exhibitions
The work of Samuel Lugassy has earned him numerous collaborations with some of the world’s greatest international publications such as: Der Spiegel, Les Cahiers du Cinéma, Figaro Magazine, Afrique Magazine, Le Magazine Littéraire… His personal projects have been exhibited principally in France and his series “Gymnast & Wrestler” was awarded the prize at the Sportfolio Festival in Narbonne.
