7 Afternoon - 8 Morning

- Documentary photographer Jean-Matthieu Gautier founded and edited EPIC-stories from 2014 to 2017. In 2021, he and Ambroise Touvet launched EPIC magazine. The independent, nearly 200-page publication, which has no advertising and is printed in France, focuses on stories told in pictures. Resolutely poetic, it features an eclectic array of genres ranging from documentary to street and narrative photography.
Jean-Matthieu is the editor-in-chief and art director. Recently, he and the EPIC team have also helped photographers start an independent editorial project.

- Agathe Kalfas has been designing and directing cultural projects in France and abroad for the last 10 years. After launching her career within the French cultural network abroad (French Institutes of Morocco and Laos, Alliance française de Madagascar), she became in 2014 the Director of Parole de Photographes, an association dedicated to the promotion of photojournalism and visual image education.
Today, as an independent consultant in photography and the founder of -AK Whispers-, she works for photographers and authors in the development and distribution of their projects. In 2019, she took part in the launch of the Inland Stories cooperative, and in 2021 joined the editorial board of EPIC magazine. She is a trainer at the ENSP and at Eyes in Progress, and works regularly as Picture editor with the French press.
