Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he learned the full spectrum of photography—from classic techniques, shooting, and retouching to lab work. At 22, fresh out of school, he moved to Paris to further his training as a on-set assistant for the 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 emerged, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel), and Peter BEARD (the 2009 Pirelli calendar in Botswana).
His photos have been published, among others, by Condé Nast Editions (French and international), Première, WallPaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His world also interests brands with very different identity codes for which he has signed institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris, or Burger King (advertising awarded at 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, ...) beauty, men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has allowed him ever since to immortalize human beauty, aesthetics, and the spiritual essence of each personality with complete freedom.
