The school’s graduates in Photography are generally very much appreciated in highly technical sectors, and hold a wide variety of positions across image-related sectors. It is often less well known that they are regularly nominated or rewarded in competitions or prizes and that they have notable careers as auteur-photographers, for example: Nadège Abadie (2012), Samuel Bollendorff (1994), Stéphanie Solinas (2001) and Cyril Weiner (2002).
