I took these portraits of trainees working in some of the biggest fashion and advertising photographic studios in Paris.

Each image has an accompanying statement which reflects the trainees' views on the photographic profession and their hopes for their own careers in photography.

In ten years some of them will have become famous photographers and others may have followed a different path. Overall, this series is a visual and social portrait of young people sharing the same space and time, at the outset of their careers, and so with their futures wide open.

Everything is still possible.
