-50x50 Fine Art Print, numbered and signed, 1/15
-Certificate of Authenticity

This photograph captures the precise moment when a body emerges from the water in a dynamic and graphic gesture. A leg rises from the turquoise surface of a swimming pool, triggering a splash that freezes the movement in a composition that is both minimalist and expressive.

The contrast between the skin and the bright blues of the water creates a vibrant image, where reflections and ripples transform the scene into an almost abstract composition.

Presented in a square format, this work highlights the energy of the movement and the beauty of the captured instant. A contemporary photograph that evokes freedom, summer, and the vitality of a body in motion.

Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he learned the full range of photographic technique—from shooting to retouching to the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to further his training by becoming a set assistant for the Daguerre studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, and Studio Zéro. He had the opportunity 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 are published, among others, by Condé Nast Editions (French and international), Première, Wallpaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His universe also attracts brands with very different identity codes, for which he has created 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, world travelers (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...), and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to capture human beauty, aesthetics, and the spiritual essence of each personality with complete freedom.
