Souvenirs Souvenirs by Lucile Robert - LulePaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole
Too often passed over as close-up live photos of artists, the eighth art takes on a completely different dimension in Paloma: it keeps an aesthetic memory of the groups who have passed through the hall, immortalized by a talented artistic photographer!
Peter Doherty Paloma - Pola Paloma (2012–2014)
The 2012–2013 season began with great fanfare, with its share of local figures and international stars. The expert eye of Romain Lefevre Roland, who was present until 2014 inclusive, entering all the spaces and shooting the artists without frills, with a Polaroïd.

Jump @ Paloma (2014–2015)
Taken from above, taken in the dressing rooms, on the terrace in the open space, the artists find themselves levitating thanks to an ingenious system with... trampolines! A suspended moment, a surreal effect captured by Lule's lens.

The illustrated photos (2016–2017 & 2017–2018)
Another significant collaboration that took place over two seasons was that between the photographer Nina Reumaux and the illustrator Valparess. A semi-photographic/semi-illustrated combo on an often neutral and colorful background for an effective and completely personalized result!

Blue Velvet (2018-2019) by Nina ReumauxPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole
Blue Velvet (2018–2019)
Nina Reumaux collaborated for the last time – to date – by taking up an old photographic process, the cyanotype technique, with a Prussian blue color, or as its name suggests, Cyan! It has a timeless effect, capturing a snapshot by forever engraving it on paper.
Les histoires d’A. (Saison 2019 – 2020) by Prescilia Viera CoelhaPaloma - SMAC de Nîmes Métropole
Les histoires d’A. (2019–2020 Season)
Referring to the famous title by Rita Mitsouko, this series of photos is a fictional meeting between artists and their audience. The result is crazy staging to say that A.'s stories do not always end badly!

Lost (2020–2022)
In the middle of the Covid period, with the many restrictions placed on the sector and the hovering uncertainty, the idea was to instill more sobriety, with a plain and dark background and a warm light source for contrast...and to stay optimistic!
