France

Hervé Lewis, born in the south of France in 1954, started on his professional journey first in sports, where he earned acclaim as a renowned trainer for numerous personalities in the entertainment industry. His profound understanding of the human form naturally evolved into a passion for photography.

As a self-taught artist, Hervé began his photography with a manual Nikon FM camera more than twenty years ago. Since then, his lens has captured the essence of countless women.

Hervé is best known for his iconic photographs for the lingerie brand Aubade’s "Lessons of Seduction" campaign. His work has been featured in several books, including Taschen’s New Erotic Photography. Hervé’s work was showcased at Art Paris at the Grand Palais in March 2009, continuing to expand his artistic legacy.
