Michel Comte, who grew up in Zurich, started as a painting restorer and became an alpinist and war reporter. As a photographer in the 1980/90ties he had played in the big league when stars like Miles Davis, Sharon Stone, Iggy Pop or Uma Thurman posed for his camera.

Michel Comte New Light is an updated portrait of this passionate adventurer.
