About

François-Xavier Manceau is a photographer and art director born in 1999, living and working in Paris.

He graduated in 2022 with a degree in digital visual and technological studies, before working across web design and development. Through his role as an Art Director at a creative agency, he developed a deep sensitivity to visual storytelling — a shift that gradually drew him toward photography as a space of interpretation. In 2025, he joined EFET Photo in Paris to professionalize his practice.

Alongside commissioned work in still life and documentary photography, he pursues a personal practice shaped by encounters and an attentive eye to the world. His photography is a direct extension of his sensibility — his series sit at the intersection of self-awareness and visual exploration, driven by a persistent desire to surface the poetic intensity of things.
