Paul L. Facchetti (1912–2010) was a French photographer known for his artistic and pictorial approach to portraiture and the human form. His work often explored themes of beauty and exoticism, notably captured in his publications from the mid-20th century. He participated in significant exhibitions, such as the Salon National in 1947, where his works were recognized for their aesthetic quality. Facchetti's photography is characterized by a focus on lighting and composition to magnify the subjects' physical attributes, particularly in his series of black nudes.
