Hervé Gloaguen was born in 1937 in Brittany. When he was in his twenties, he moved to Paris to study photography at the School of Photography Techniques and Cinema which is now called, National Superior School Louis-Lumière. But not feeling happy with this decision, he left school after six months and learned photography autodidactically. Later on, he joined the Réalités magazine as an assistant of Gilles Ehrmann: He did a series of reportages in the United States where he discovered New York and its avant garde. He met composers, choreographers, masters of jazz and Andy Warhol there.
Observant of a boiling epoch, he shows us through his images the richness that he discovered in the United States during the 60s.
Afterwards, he joined another agency and went from disappointment to disappointment. So he decided to found his own agency VIVA, in 1972 which bought together Alain Dagbert, Claude Dityvon, Martine Frank, François Hers, Richard Kalvar, Jean Lattes and Guy Le Querrec. Hervé Gloaguen worked there for ten years, doing reportagesof news and long term projects;- reportages about the European communist parties (PCF, PCI, PCE), the Carnations revolution in Portugal in 1974, the fall of Saigon in 1975, the elections in Italy in 1976 and in Spain in 1977....
Today his name is internationally recognized and his photographs are part of the collection of the Centre Pompidou and the Réattu Museum, among others. Some of his images have been published, as seen in the book " A hauteur de Jazz" published by Editions la Martinière in 2009.
