Capturing a more relaxed side to the glitz and glamour of the Cannes Film Festival

His take on the recent Cannes Film Festival was unexpected and honest, capturing the more human, relaxed side of the celebrities that attended the annual event. With a black and white focus, his snapshots from the evening reveal the hidden side to what happens when all the A-list celebrities grace the red carpet and pose for the wall of photographers, all fighting for their attention to get the best shot.

I'm talking everyone from the classic Hollywood goddess that is Charlize Theron right through to directing royalty in the manner of Woody Allen. Each and every shot reveals a sneak at the real people behind the hours of hair and makeup, and expensive, carefully chosen outfits.

Vincent is also co-founder, former head editor and photo editor of Snatch Magazine, a monthly French magazine about culture, society and fashion. You can discover more of his photography work at www.vincent-desailly.com. Or follow him on Tumblr or Instagram.
