Bruno Cordonnier is a French photographer and exhibition printer born in 1964. A graduate of the Institut Saint-Luc in Tournai in 1986, he lives and works in Paris. After many years spent in a major Parisian photographic laboratory, he founded Atelier Surexposés, a space dedicated to exhibition printing where, for over fifteen years, he has been creating pigment prints for artists and institutions, applying his experience with the analog darkroom to contemporary digital technologies.
Alongside his work as a sharpshooter, he pursues personal photographic projects fueled by his travels and encounters. His images have been created in numerous countries—Indonesia, Mali, Iran, India, Yemen, Syria, Egypt, São Tomé, Zanzibar, Cuba, Madagascar, and Cambodia—constituting a sensitive exploration of places, cultures, and atmospheres.
His photographs of Parisian Evenings, dedicated to the energy and intimacy of Paris at night, were exhibited during the Month of Photography in 1992 by Jean-Claude Lemagny and are now held in the collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France. In 2025, he is publishing Danser Paris with Le Bec en l’air editions, a book bringing together this work on night and dance.
