Films and photographies
© Jean-Christophe Husson
With more than 25 years of experience as a graphic designer, art director, photographer, and agency founder, I excel at strategizing, designing, and implementing visual strategies. As a passionate art lover, activist, educator, and down-to-earth brand consultant, my mission is to create purposeful visual designs, films, photography series, books, and publications that help brands and organizations authentically express their core values and identity. I craft diverse visual strategies, from short videos to photography series, with a global perspective. Transitioning from art director consultant for publications like Numero and Elle magazine, or publishers like Hazan and Le Chêne, I've evolved as a photographer and videographer, working with clients like Lancaster, Sergio Rossi, Longchamp, Caudalie, and Nespresso.
LittlebigPictures was a creative agency for brand building and creative services, founded with partner Delphine Gubert. A 50/50 mix of concept and production, making sure that our innovative ideas were executed flawlessly.
Clients: Nespresso, Longchamp, L'Oréal, Chanel, Qatar Luxury Group, Coty Prestige, Caudalie, M Le Magazine du Monde, Relais & Chateaux, Constructa, Elsevier, Tax & Customs Museum...
As the founder and Creative Director of LittlebigPictures, I oversee design, film, and photography projects. In parallel, my association La Conversation develops educational and artistic projects, from exhibitions to educational workshops.
My passion lies in art direction, defining concepts that take shape as photography series, short videos, or film scripts, as well as in activism and education.

After exhibitions in Paris and Amsterdam, I decided to settle in the tolerant city of Amsterdam. Here I began work on No Land For Love (with producer Andrea Weiner) that gave a voice to the LGBT+ communities in Middle East and Sub-Saharan African countries who had to flee their homes. Produced in dialogue and promoted by various Dutch LGBT associations with the aim of raising awareness among a wider audience, this project addressed the delicate issue of LGBT + rights and the moral prejudices suffered by certain minorities.
Today I work on both corporate production and artistic projects ( photography but also film (documentary and fiction)). Among them, various projects are related to notions of identity, gender and prejudice: Eayilatuna (OurFamily) is a fictional project focusing on the LGBT community in Marseilles. Eve 70 is a television series that depicts the lives of several women (including a transsexual) working within the editorial team of the women’s magazine Eve during the 70's: some are keen on fashion, others passionate about social events, while feminist and sexual revolutions are underway.
