Montand understood that I would be there, at the exit of the restaurant, and practically organized a session by showing the mountain to Paul Newman. ».

Quite the opposite of the paparazzi as we understand it today: ?I have a way of working, with respect for people, probably because I was brought up that way. Some of my colleagues sometimes wondered how I managed to get certain photos. It was simply because I was seen well, that I was doing my job correctly. And with correction? Having a good reputation, in this environment, it counts, it opens doors.L'Est Républicain - 04 nov. 2012 : Tout commence quand il tombe sur Yves Montand, Paul Newman et leurs femmes respectives. « Je suis allé leur demander pour faire une photo. Newman n'a pas voulu. Simone Signoret m'a dit que c'était bien d'avoir demandé? Montand a compris que je serai là, à la sortie du restaurant, et a quasiment organisé une séance en montrant la montagne à Paul Newman. ».Alain Cinquini a sa première photo de stars.

Le début d'une belle carrière.En un quart de siècle, Alain Cinquini prendra entre 80.000 et 100.000 clichés de stars parmi les plus grandes, devenant l'un des photographes indépendants incontournables du sud de la France et de Monaco.

Tout l'inverse des paparazzis au sens où on l'entend aujourd'hui : « J'ai une façon de travailler, dans le respect des personnes, sans doute parce que j'ai été élevé ainsi. Certains de mes collègues se demandaient parfois comment j'arrivais à avoir certaines photos. C'était simplement parce que j'étais bien vu, que je faisais mon boulot correctement. Et avec correction? Avoir une bonne réputation, dans ce milieu-là, ça compte, ça ouvre des portes. Expertise by: David ZERBIB : 24 Av. du Prado, 13006 Marseille, France; Paul BENARROCHE 8 boulevard Alphons.
