Ben Dauchez - Summer Pool #2

Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full set of fundamentals of photography, from classic technique, shooting, and retouching to the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to perfect his training by becoming an on-set assistant for Daguerre Studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, and Studio Zéro. He had the chance to collaborate with and assist some of the most talented photographers: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From certain decisive encounters arose beautiful projects and long collaborations, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (Pirelli calendar 2009 in Botswana).
His photos are published, among others, in Condé Nast Editions (French and international), Première, WallPAPER, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His universe also interests brands with very different identity codes for which he has signed the creation of Institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris, and Burger King (Advertising awarded at Dubai Lynx).

Ben DAUCHEZ has also produced numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody ALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, cosmopolitan men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely capture the human beauty, aesthetics, and spiritual essence of each personality.
