The autodidact was born in Paris in 1971. From 1995 to 1997, he travelled with his wife and small son through Africa, Madagascar and India, to catalogue the architecture of school buildings. In Mali, an acquaintance took him to visit Malick Sidibé (1936–2016). The photographer guided Caupeil further in the medium – not least because Caupeil’s wife purchased a Rolleiflex off Sidibé to give it to her husband as a present.
