Since 2009, Urban Mythology has been built around a simple conviction: the most powerful image is the one born at the intersection of creative rigor and living culture. Not an imposed style.
A vision built project after project, through contact with the greatests.
From its creation, UrbanMythology has been developing a visual signature crafted for artists, brands, and high-end cultural projects with uncompromising standards, moving between the raw energy of live performance, the intimacy of backstage moments, the precision of portraiture, and the elegance of editorial imagery.
UrbanMythology captures what cannot be repeated: tension, presence, silence, an imperfect light that suddenly becomes perfect. A clean, cinematic, premium aesthetic — where emotion always remains at the core.
An instinctive approach, built for the industry
In fast-paced environments, the difference lies in the ability to instantly understand, anticipate, and deliver powerful imagery without disrupting reality.
Cédric built his career within music and production: tours, major stages, international events, campaigns, and strategic content creation.
Contexts where imagery is not optional — but a tool of influence.
His edge: fast execution, strong technical control, and an instinctive sense for key moments.
The result: iconic images, ready to use immediately, yet designed to last.

BRIEF HISTORY
Cédric is a french creative director, photographer and director.
For over 15 years, Cédric (as UrbanMythology) has established himself as one of the most renowned photographers in the music scene. His work, which combines intensity and aesthetics, captures the raw energy of concerts as well as the sensitivity of brands and precious backstage moments.
With a sharp eye and an immersive approach, he transforms each emotion into a visual story that resonates, offering the public images that transcend time. UrbanMythology collaborates with those who shape contemporary culture. The photographs, true fragments of scene and emotion, contribute to marking the history of a generation.
Cédric accompanied the famous french director and producer Quentin Dupieux aka Mr. Oizo, capturing the intense and surreal moments of the French Touch genius’s live performances.
In the same vein, he has collaborated with Ed Banger Rec., crossed roads with Cassius, Breakbot and French electronic duo Justice, capturing the disco soul, the metallic energy and visual power of their concerts.
UrbanMythology had the opportunity to follow the two brothers from PNL during the first tour of the iconic duo. The resulting photographs convey the depth and atmosphere that characterise the duo, adding a new dimension to their public image through social networks and album covers.
Under the lead of Cutback.live and Arachnee Productions, UrbanMythology captures Booba’s monumental concert at the Stade de France, capturing the scale and grandeur of the rapper’s performance on the French music scene over the last 20 years.
2022 marks another turning point in Cedric’s career, with the passionate encounter with piano king Sofiane Pamart. With several projects and tours under his belt, Cédric captures the moments in life, the emotions and the unique live performances of the first pianist in history to sell out the Accor Arena, 5 Olympia concerts in a row and perform at the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. Highlighting the pianist’s adventure, sensitivity and virtuosity, UrbanMythology’s visuals gave rise to a first tour book, ‘Letter’, published by La Pluggerie editions.
In 2024, UrbanMythology is the official photographer for one of the biggest tour in France: Star Academy, which took the winner Pierre Garnier, the 6 other finalists, dancers and musicians on the road.
MANIFESTO
At a time when everyone seeks the spotlight, I choose the shadows. My role is not to be seen, but to see. My eye bears silent witness to the rise of artists, brands, and icons — capturing the essence of those who shape their own legends. To witness greatness is both a privilege and a responsibility.
Every image is a commitment — to document truth, to preserve legacy, to reveal the beauty and complexity of the human experience. With honesty, I distill emotion and meaning, creating images that speak beyond their moment in time.
I don’t follow trends. I challenge patterns, question habits, and seek new frontiers. By capturing the present, I look forward — never back. This devotion to the craft of imagery allows me to tell stories that transcend time, becoming timeless treasures for generations to come.
My work is a celebration of life, a tribute to the human spirit, and an enduring legacy of visual storytelling.
