About

Figures Office is a full image-management service for artists, galleries, and cultural institutions. As an extension of Figures, our practice is rooted in the slow photography mindset, prioritising personal, substantial storytelling.

Founded by photographer and film director Nicolas Blanchadell, the Office combines a decade of experience from content creation for names like Armani Beauty, Adidas, C/O Berlin, to a deep technical background in fine-art printing and color management. Following the release of three print issues, hundreds of artist features, thousands of published images, Figures Office was born to offer this editorial and technical expertise to the wider creative community.

Based between the South of France, Paris, and Berlin, we handle your images, from studio to archive.
We act as a close collaborator for artists refining a new series into a book, galleries documenting an exhibition, institutions wanting to digitise their archives, etc. Our goal is to ensure every artwork is cared for in the digital world. On-site project can easily be organised within Europe.
