Best known as faRfe, Maxime de Bollivier is the current young but also gifted French photographer of Insane Bookings.
He discovered at the age of 16 electronic music as he started working at the for his studies in visual communication and graphics. Thanks to his father’s musical influences, he began to enjoy rock, heavy metal and even bands of the 60s & 70s ; as a matter of fact, no doubt that alternative sounds were on his way.
Specializing himself in photography gave him the opportunity to match his passion become a full job with his manifest interest for hardcore music.
Giving a sincere image of artists performing is part of his main goals, such as showing their inner motivation on stage. Hard-working, he can follow them in Benelux for contract in festival or private parties.
He is also devoted to successful portraits and reportages, with no preference for colour or black & white, but with that specific atmosphere displaying an obvious sensitivity you will recognize for sure.

Berlin's Fuck Parade 2007
