Description from the seller
This unframed fine art pearl photography in a square format of 80x80 cm presents a study in Superimposition. The composition stands out for its sobriety and elegance.
Contemporary photographic work exploring the meeting between sky, sea, and light. Through a play of overlays and textures, this composition creates a contemplative atmosphere where the clouds seem to float between reality and abstraction.
The deep shades of blue and the effects of transparency give the image a presence that is at once poetic and timeless, inviting the viewer to travel through a horizonless space. This work fits perfectly within the tradition of contemporary artistic photography.

Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired all the basics of photography—from classic technique, to shooting, to retouching, through the laboratory. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to perfect his training by becoming a set assistant for 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 would emerge, 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 interests brands with very different identities, for whom 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 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 capture the beauty, aesthetics, and spiritual essence of each personality.
