Noah Schnapp at Cannes 2026

Exclusive Portrait Session Before the Red Carpet at the 79th Cannes Film Festival

During the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, celebrity and fashion photographer Jeremy Jakubowicz had the opportunity to accompany Noah Schnapp throughout several moments of his day in Cannes, documenting the atmosphere surrounding one of the world’s most prestigious cinematic events.

Known internationally for portraying Will Byers in the globally acclaimed Stranger Things, one of the most watched series in streaming history, Noah Schnapp attended the festival with the effortless ease and warmth that have made him one of his generation’s most recognizable actors.

This exclusive portrait session was captured just before his red carpet appearance, within the iconic peristyle of the Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel. Bathed in Mediterranean sunlight, the architecture created strong graphic shadows that contrasted beautifully with the refined silhouette of his tailored evening look.

The understated elegance of the outfit was elevated by a distinguished brooch from Chaumet, adding a discreet yet sophisticated detail to the ensemble. Against the warm tones of the setting, the portraits blend cinematic atmosphere with contemporary celebrity portraiture.

Beyond the imagery itself, what remained most striking throughout the session was Noah Schnapp’s generosity and kindness. Calm, approachable and genuinely warm, he brought an ease to the shoot that transformed these moments before the red carpet into something unexpectedly sincere and human.

Through this series, Jeremy Jakubowicz captures more than a celebrity preparing for Cannes. The photographs document a quieter moment suspended before the intensity of the festival, where light, architecture and personality converge into a timeless editorial narrative.

These images represent only a first glimpse of a longer photographic journey shared throughout the day.
