Life and work
Tempé studied business in France and moved to New York City to work as a trader in 1984.[1] He also continued training as a dancer.[3] He began his work as an amateur photographer in 1989, but by 1991 was spending about half his time working in photography. He became a full-time photographer in 2000.[1]
His images, in the form of large, carefully executed, black-and-white prints that often measure up to 4 feet in height, have been exhibited in Europe, the U.S. and Africa.[citation needed] His work has been featured in magazines such as Photo Magazine, Le Monde 2 and Libération, among others.[citation needed]
