Description from the seller
Mandela Park #1
Format 40X40 Fine ART
Certificate of Authenticity
Light and shadow play here a central role, highlighting contrasts and textures, while adding emotional depth to the image. Every detail, from traditional clothing to facial expressions, tells a story—the story of a proud people tied to its roots.
Ben Dauchez, through this work, invites us to immerse ourselves in a distant yet profoundly human reality, where time seems suspended. An invitation to contemplation and reflection on the beauty of encounters and moments shared.
Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the whole toolkit of classic photographic technique, from shooting to retouching via the laboratory. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to complete his training by becoming a set assistant for Daguerre Studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, and Studio Zéro. He had the good 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, beautiful projects and long collaborations arose, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry exhibition INRI and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (Pirelli calendar 2009 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 attracts brands with very different identities for which he has signed institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris, or Burger King (Advertising honored 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, men of the world (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.
