Baptiste was born on November 9, 1989 in Marseille. He was encouraged by a woman from his sports club to pursue modelling and surely enough, he was on his way to stardom. He was accepted at the first modelling agency he tried, MGM Paris. His first shoot was captured by Laurent Marseille Piomb and shortly after this, Karl Lagerfeld spotted Baptiste in an Italian magazine.

“a boy version of Gisele [Bündchen]: skinny, skinny but with an athletic body — good for clothes and great with no clothes.”
Naomi Campbell also met Baptiste in 2009 in Moscow, and said after their meeting:
“It’s not right: We all have defects. You have none.”
His magazine work has since been extensive, ranging across a broad spectrum of fashion magazines including:
Vogue Paris, Vogue Nippon, Vogue Germany, V Man, Interview, Wallpaper magazine, Elle Italia, Purple Fashion, V Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire Italy and cover work for both Wallpaper Magazine and Wound Magazine.
