Description from the seller

Marrakech Series
-Title Koutoubia Twist
-Fine Art print 50x50, numbered and signed 1/15 in 50x50 format. Unframed print
-Certificate of Authenticity

This work offers a contemporary and singular vision of the Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech's emblematic monument.

Created by in-camera overlay directly at the moment of capture, without recourse to digital editing, it testifies to rare technical mastery and a demanding artistic approach.

The image goes beyond mere representation to become a complex visual construction, where architecture, light, and memory intertwine.

With a chromatic treatment dominated by deep blues and punctuated by warm lights, the work sits within a contemporary aesthetic close to certain Bauhaus-related explorations and experimental photography.

Each print is produced in a limited edition, guaranteeing its rarity and value for collectors.

Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full basics of photography—from classic technique, shooting and retouching to the laboratory. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to refine his training by becoming a set assistant for Daguerre Studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, and Studio Zéro. He had the fortune 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 would come beautiful projects and long collaborations, 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 universe also interests brands with very different identity codes for which he has led institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris, and Burger King (advertising awarded at the 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, cosmopolitan men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human beauty, aesthetics, and spiritual essence of each personality.
