Ben Dauchez - Summer Pool #2

Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in neighborhood studios in La Rochelle. There he learned the full range of photography—from classical technique, to shooting, to retouching, through to the lab. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to refine 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, beautiful projects and long collaborations were born, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (the Pirelli 2009 calendar in Botswana).
His photos are published, among others, by Condé Nast Editions (French and international), Première, WallPapers, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His universe also interests brands with very different identity codes for which he has led the realization 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 shot numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody ALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, of world-measured men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and of travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to immortalize, with complete freedom, the human beauty, aesthetics, and spiritual essence of each personality.
