Christian Simonpiétri (1940–2023) was a French photojournalist whose career spanned frontline war coverage and intimate celebrity portraiture. Born in Saigon, he began as a combat photographer during the Vietnam War with the Gamma agency, later joining Sygma, where he helped define modern photo reportage. In the 1970s, he relocated to Los Angeles, gaining rare access to leading figures in film and music, including David Bowie, whom he photographed extensively.
