‍Since our beginnings in 1994, original photography has always played a strategic role for Maison Moderne, now publisher of Paperjam.

We have unearthed many photographic talents, but also worked with established photographers in Luxembourg, Europe and elsewhere in the world.

Photography can be an artistic expression, but also journalism and in the best case both at the same time.

Our approach has always been to favor original creation, to work with photographers and to resort to archive photos, image bank photos or even photos made available only in exceptions, notably linked to deadlines.

This choice allows the publications of the independent publisher to distinguish themselves by quality and originality. It is also an investment and a way to differentiate from other publications. And to develop a visual language that is specific to the universe of our media brands.

We have chosen to reserve these photographs for our readers and not to have them published elsewhere.
