From a Paris film set to photography
David Séchan is a French photographer and music publisher. He is the twin brother of singer Renaud.
As children, the twins appeared in Albert Lamorisse’s The Red Balloon (1956). French film credits identify David as one of the twins dressed in red.
The film follows a boy and a red balloon through Paris. David’s appearance is a small part of a story centred on the boy played by Pascal Lamorisse.
Beyond film, Séchan worked in photography and music publishing. He published photographic books documenting Renaud, including Tournée générale and Dans l’intimité de Renaud.
The film credits linked below are drawn from the FLM.RED catalogue and do not represent a complete record of his work.
