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 basics of photography, from classic technique, shooting, and retouching to the laboratory. 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 was lucky to collaborate with and assist at the time the most talented photographers: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From certain decisive encounters, beautiful projects and long collaborations would spring, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book published by Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (the 2009 Pirelli calendar in Botswana).

His photos have been published, among others, by Condé Nast Publications (French and international editions), Première, WallPaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His universe also attracts brands with very different identities for which he has led the creation of institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris or Burger King (advertising awarded at the Dubai Lynx).

Ben DAUCHEZ has also produced numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) in beauty, portraits of men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...

This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human, aesthetic, and spiritual beauty of each personality.
