Gamma/Sygma – Raymond Depardon: An Unavoidable Split
He is the best known of the four musketeers who founded Gamma in November 1966, taking charge of the agency after the parting of the ways. I wanted to hear his side of the story, but the photographer, who took President François Holland’s official portrait one year ago, is difficult to reach. When I finally got through to him, he was reluctant at first: “The anniversary of Sygma. I’m in no position to talk about it—I’m anti-Sygma!” A few days later, he called me back and kindly answered a few questions. Forty years later, despite his written contribution to the memoirs of Hubert Henrotte (which Depardon claims not to have read), we feel that the conflict of April and May 1973 is still vivid in his mind. The reason is his almost visceral attachment to Gamma, which led him again last month to offer his support to François Lochon, the agency’s current director.

Gamma/Sygma, Raymond Depardon: “Une scission inévitable”
Il est le plus connu des quatre mousquetaires qui ont fondé Gamma en novembre 1966 et c’est lui qui a pris la direction de l’agence après la scission des fondateurs. Je souhaitais évidement son témoignage, mais le photographe qui a immortalisé le Président de la République française il y a un an, est difficile à joindre. Voir la suite

L’opération commando par Henri Bureau
Issy-les-Moulineaux le mercredi 24 avril 2013 vers midi. Henri Bureau a tourné en voiture un moment. Dans le téléphone mobile, il râle : « Je n’ai pas que ça à faire… » Finalement il gare sa C4 à un coin de rue et je le rejoins.
Gamma/Sygma – Henri Bureau: The commando operation
Issy-les-Moulineaux, Wednesday, April 24, 2013, around noon. Henri Bureau had been driving in circles. “I’ve got other things to do,” he groaned into his cell phone. Finally he parked his Citroën C4 on a corner and I met him. The weather is nice. We sit outside in a Paris suburb. Bureau isn’t smiling, but he’s ready to tell his version of the collapse of Gamma and the creation of Sygma. His tone is not cold. The emotions from that day are still there A photographer for Reporters Associés, then one of the founders of the famous Gamma agency, he asserted his role as a leader among the photographers and staff during the “revolution” that led to the founding of Sygma. He would become one of the agency’s stars before rising to editor-in-chief. But in the history books, he is the photographer who immortalized General Charles de Gaulle in May 1968 for Gamma, still under the direction of Hubert Henrotte.

Gamma/Sygma: Le récit de la nuit des longs couteaux
Mai 1973, il fait nuit dans la tranquille rue Auguste Vacquerie, dans le 16ème arrondissement à Paris à 500 mètres de l’Arc de Triomphe. Devant le n°4, un groupe de jeunes gens entassent des cartons dans une Daimler de couleur Bordeaux, garée à côté d’une Jaguar Type E. Ce sont les photographes de l’agence Gamma qui déménagent leurs archives. La déjà très célèbre agence de presse est en grève à la suite d’un conflit entre les associés historiques. C’est l’acte fondateur de la futur agence Sygma.
