Case on the shoulder, he sands the evenings, crosses myths such as Aristotle Onassis, Jacques Brel, John Lennon, Giovanni Agnelli, Liz Taylor or Edith Piaf.In 1967 he founded the Angeli Agency and became a master in the art of so-called "human photos". Sometimes asked, often stolen, to capture moments of life of which only immediacy guarantees the truth. That earned him a somewhat sulfuric reputation.Daniel Angeli nevertheless knew how to keep ethics essential for the job of journalist. He defines himself as a witness of his time. The one where the stars were real.In Saint-Tropez in the summer, in Gstaad in the winter, he goes to thirty-five festivals in Cannes and rubs shoulders with the greats of this world, sometimes with accomplices.In 1996 he meets Johnny Hallyday on the slopes of Gstaad.
