Dahmane - Addicted to nudes ( First edition) - 2008

Edition Skylight 2008
Dahmane has been passionately devoted to nude photography for more than 40 years. Published his first work before he was 20. At the same time, he worked as a freelance portrait photographer for a range of French magazines, including L’Expansion, Capital, L’Express, Le Figaro, VSD, Closer, L’Usine Nouvelle and
others.

Dahmane is inviting us to join him on an "erotic journey", His work transcends the barriers and limitations of analogue photography and focuses on aesthetics, graphics, and eroticism. Dahmane's fondness for architecture and the female nude, enable naked or half-naked models to appear in a variety of striking cityscapes. Dahmane has broken free from the myriad limitations of nude outdoor photography, and given his imagination and perfectionism completely free reign. He creates pictures that make an absolutely realistic, if somewhat surreal, impression, but this is deceptive. We see scantily clad models lying in snow, surrounded by hoards of crocodiles, posing in an ordinary corselet in the streets of Warsaw or Los Angeles, or completely naked in Dubrovnik Cathedral. Dahmane's work is full of surprises and casts a spell. We invite you to accompany him on his erotic journey.

Several volumes of his nudes have been released, including Dahmane (bags), Dressed Nudes (Futami-Shobo), Dressed Nudes (Edition Skylight and La Musardine), Erotic Sessions (Edition Skylight and La Musardine) and Addicted to Nudes (Edition Skylight and La Musardine). His nude works have been published all over the world and exhibited in London, Paris, Rome and Los Angeles, among other places.

Dahmane still lives in Paris, and continues to devote himself to photographing female nudes and doing portraits. He is represented by the Claude Lemand Gallery.
