The Mougins Center of Photography has chosen to present in its store products that distinguishes itself from the usual “souvenir shops” in museums. The Center wishes to support artistic creation and not play the card of overconsumption by avoiding the pitfall of gadgets and by favoring the prism of design. The ambition is to address a large public, both in terms of generation and social background, offering a wide range of prices.

The store is open during the exhibition periods :

April – September: 11:00 to 19:00. Closed on Tuesdays
October – March: 13:00 to 18:00. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays

Cahiers #10

This tenth issue of the Cahiers du Centre de la photographie de Mougins is dedicated to the work of Dutch photographer Bertien van Manen, a major figure in documentary photography. Through a selection of her most iconic series, this publication highlights her distinctive approach, both documentary and subjective, which she expressed more through the photobook than through exhibitions. It traces her journeys across Europe, the United States, the former Soviet Union, and China, where she immersed herself in communities often rendered invisible. Grounded in proximity, relationships, and shared experience, her photography invites us into the intimate worlds of her subjects and reveals Bertien van Manen’s deeply humanist, feminist, and socially engaged perspective.

Les Américains

In 1955, Robert Frank embarked on a fourteen-month journey across the United States. He took some 27,000 photographs that would form a sort of travelogue—both intimate and historical: a funeral in South Carolina, a picnic among young people in California, a charity gala in New York, segregation…

Although deemed sad, perverse, and even subversive by the American press at the time, its significance has continued to grow over the years. Now considered a classic of photography, Robert Frank has been hailed as a true innovator by photographers, critics, and the general public alike.

Reissue—featuring Jack Kerouac’s text as published in the book’s first American edition.

Mères, Filles, Sœurs

Before becoming Liverpool’s “photieman”—the photographer who captures people on the streets, in pubs, clubs, markets, docks, parks, and soccer stadiums—Tom Wood collected old postcards depicting, in particular, mothers with their daughters or sisters together. Mothers, Daughters, Sisters brings together photographs Tom Wood took on the city’s streets between the late 1970s and the late 1990s, as well as a selection from his personal collection of anonymous images.

Sometimes posed and sometimes captured in the spontaneous flow of street life, in black and white or bathed in his distinctive color palette, Tom Wood’s portraits exude a power and presence of tremendous intensity. They celebrate these women and pay tribute to their lives as mothers, sisters, and daughters—to the intimate bond and palpable humanity that connect them.

Over time: conversations about documents and dreams

This intimate, conversational reader transports us to the enchanted world of Alessandra Sanguinetti’s photographic series The Adventures of Guille and Belinda, exploring the evolution of this celebrated work and the themes and questions it raises. Made in the countryside of Buenos Aires Province, Sanguinetti’s series follows the lives of two cousins as they come of age alongside the realities of rural life. From a young age, Guille and Belinda have been Sanguinetti’s collaborators, co-conspirators, and playmates, evoking the unique worlds suspended between dreams and reality that define childhood, adolescence, and eventually adulthood. Here, they reflect with Sanguinetti on the work’s making and their changing relationship to it over time in an extended conversation illustrated with previously unseen images from across the years. This discussion is complemented by a conversation between Sanguinetti and curators Clément Chéroux and Pierre Leyrat, unpacking the ways this work engages with and disrupts conversations around documentary photography, artistic collaboration, and the depiction of the lives of girls and women the world over.

Tempura magazine n°23 : Aventures Japonaises – Spring–Summer 2026

Who said Japan is all about its ultra-dense cities and Zen gardens? Hidden hiking trails, mountain lodges perched high in the hills, rice paddies and bamboo forests stretching as far as the eye can see… We laced up our hiking boots and left the paved roads behind to explore the richness of a region that remains largely unknown. And to envision a different relationship with nature and all living things. Join us on a journey through the archipelago’s great outdoors!

Y VOIR CLAIR dans le méli-mélo de la photo

Les Filles de la Photo’s white paper on best practices is the fruit of a wide-ranging process of questioning shared with all players in the photography ecosystem in an original, introspective form. It is the culmination of a rigorous consultation with 33 photographers in the form of individual interviews, and 100 players in the sector at 10 round tables.
Revealing the misunderstandings and mutual incomprehension that undermine talent and project selection processes, this collaborative work reveals the realities and challenges – often poorly understood – of the various stakeholders. It shares virtuous examples and tangible solutions to defuse surprising situations in ten key areas of photography.
Necessary, critical without being moralistic, this white paper compiles recommendations and advice for photographers and decision-makers in the sector. Its ambition is to encourage, in a benevolent and straightforward way, best practices between the various players in the ecosystem, and to make relations more fluid.

Kit cartes Cyanotype + Maxi Kit. Emma Tarea

By: Emma Tarea

The cyanotype is an old photographic process invented in 1842. It works by applying a solution directly to the paper to make it photosensitive. The paper is then exposed to the sun’s rays, which give it its blue tint once the image has been rinsed. The parts that have been obscured with objects, negatives or cut-out paper remain white.
Suitable for children aged 5 and over and entirely handmade by Emma Tarea in her studio in Nice, the small kit (15 x 15 cm) contains 7 ready-to-use sheets, the maxi kit (30 x 30 cm) 6 sheets, and both come with instructions.
