A book of previously unpublished photos, created by a daughter for her father.
In 2021, as Florent Pagny begins the "60 Tour," he entrusts his daughter, Ael, a talented 22-year-old independent photographer at the time, with the task of documenting the event. However, the tour comes to a sudden halt in early 2022 when Florent announces on social media that he has been diagnosed with cancer; he must focus on his health and stay close to his family. Driven by his zest for life and passion for music, the "boss" decides to record a duet album with many artists he feels close to and returns to the stage in the summer of 2023 during numerous festivals.
Throughout this period, his daughter remains by his side, capturing moments as rare as they are precious. Modest, Ael finds a way through her photos to stay close to her father at every moment and express her love for him.
This beautiful, completely original book, prefaced by the singer, is the result of these three years of work. Three very special years for Ael, for Florent, and for the entire family, always united for better or for worse. Through the photos, captioned by Florent Pagny and his daughter, a story unfolds...
