Certificate of Authenticity

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 classic photographic technique, from shooting to retouching and through the lab. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to refine his training by becoming a 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 determinative encounters, beautiful projects and long collaborations emerged, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry exhibition INRI and its eponymous book at Éditions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (Pirelli calendar 2009 in Botswana).
His photographs 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 led institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris, and even 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, ...) of beauty, men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely capture the human beauty, aesthetics, and spiritual essence of each personality.
