Ben Dauchez - Swira Femme #2

Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full set of fundamentals of photography, from classic technique to shooting and retouching, including the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to refine his training by becoming a set assistant for the Daguerre studios; Le Petit Oiseau will be released and Studio Zéro. He had the chance to collaborate with and assist among the most talented photographers: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From certain decisive meetings would arise beautiful projects and long collaborations, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book published by Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (the 2009 Pirelli calendar in Botswana).

His photographs are published, among others, by Condé Nast Publications (French and international editions), Première, WallPaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His world also attracts brands with very different identity codes, for whom he has directed institutional and/or advertising campaigns such as Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris or Burger King (advertising awarded at the Dubai Lynx).

Ben DAUCHEZ has also shot numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody ALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, of worldly men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and of travelers...

This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human, aesthetic, and spiritual beauty of each personality.
