Paris-born artist Mathieu Bitton is a prolific photographer, designer, art director, and producer. He has photographed some of the world’s most celebrated artists, including Quincy Jones, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Dave Chappelle, Lady Gaga, Mel Brooks, Sidney Poitier, Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Penelope Cruz, Aretha Franklin, Jerry Seinfeld, Harry Belafonte, Jim Carrey, John Mayer, Morgan Freeman, David Letterman and Chris Rock.

He has also designed and art directed an extensive catalog of albums, posters, books, and promotional materials for an illustrious range of films, musicians, and entertainers. When not creating commissioned works, Mathieu finds inspiration shooting candid portraits, stolen moments, and spontaneous street scenes. A common thread, whatever the medium, is capturing the truth of a subject and a moment. Among Mathieu’s numerous achievements are several Grammy nominations — including multiple wins — and being awarded the medal of Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters, bestowed by the French Government.

Mathieu’s successful exhibitions have included "Travelogue" (Los Angeles, 2013), "Ascension" (Vienna, 2015 and Sofia, 2016), "Darker Than Blue" (Los Angeles, 2016; Boston, Miami, 2017; Frankfurt, Wetzlar, 2018), and most recently "Paris Blues" (Los Angeles, New York, 2024), the inspiration and companion to this book.

Mathieu has been honored to serve as an ambassador for Leica Cameras and he has partnered with and participated in several of their ad campaigns and events.
