Son of the founder of European car company Simca, 62-year-old Pigozzi started taking photos of his daily life at 12 and never stopped. Living with dyslexia, he documented his daily life with a camera hung round his neck.

He first started taking photos of himself and then got to take selfies with friends close to him.

"When I asked my friends to take selfies, they didn't understand what I was doing," Pigozzi says, explaining the result couldn't be seen on the camera then.

Among the photos are some images of Steve Jobs, who Pigozzi says was an old friend of his.

There are Jobs' feet in sandals, Jobs answering a phone and Jobs working at home on his Apple computers. But no selfies.

"I think I just forgot to take selfies with him. He was unbelievable, quite serious and very interesting," Pigozzi says.

Pigozzi's friend Jerome Sans describes him as a traveling man. Sans says his friend always attends the Oscars or the Cannes Film Festival parties.

Pigozzi says he loves parties because people are relaxed in front of the lens and have more fun. If someone is alone in a room, it's easy for them to get nervous when being photographed.
