Antoine Bootz & Eric Schmitt

Eric Schmitt was born in 1955. In 1997 he left Paris to live and work at the edge of the Fontainbleau forest. In his workshop, pieces are created, designed and shaped and then entrusted to the best craftsmen in France. His creations are produced and signed in limited edition, a modern execution of the French decorative arts tradition. He joined RALPH PUCCI in 2006.

Antoine Bootz’s talents earned him simultaneous success in both fine art and commercial photography worlds. He has enjoyed many solo and group shows of his photography in his native Paris and New York City, his adoptive home. He has also worked on advertising campaigns and editorial projects with Calvin Klein, House & Garden, La Redoute and many others. Bootz has photographed for Ralph Pucci for over 20 years, including the photography for the RALPH PUCCI books, Show and Wall.
