Philippe Tarabella was born in 1956 in Paris.

Ageless, with a restless career, practices photographic art as others practice poetry.

An amused eye on a reality that is gently derailing, a reading of the urban against the current, neither committed reporting (by whom, by the way), nor a sociological study, simply a walk in a city that seems so familiar to us, but which for our greatest happiness often manages to surprise us gently...

Philippe is a 'gaillard' that we met precisely at the Agathe Gaillard gallery!

Always present in all Parisian events whether Paris Photo, a demonstration against the war in Iraq, or the Indian parade of the god Ganesh. Philippe is a sensor of dreams, poetic moments, impossible situations and poses, imperceptible moods, clouds and snow.

All of his loves – women, Paris, theatre, cinema, literature, music, dance, the plastic arts – blend together in his images.

Some photos are reminiscent of movie scenes, others – theater, or paintings.

Philippe Tarabella is a Parisian titi, a rare breed, to be preserved.
