Thaddé Comar (b. 1993) graduated from ECAL in 2018. He is based in Paris and Lausanne where he juggles between commissioned photography, editorial and personal explorations.
“You might know this,” Thaddé says to It’s Nice That in a characteristically French timbre over the phone. “Protesting is a big thing in Paris.” As a child, the recurring protests for which the French capital has become notorious scared young Thaddé. With time, however, he came to understand it as an elemental part of the Parisian expression. When he later developed an interest in photography, he used the medium as a vehicle to explore the rich activist history of his birth city.
