Description from the seller
Passionate about photography since a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he learned the full range of photography—from classic technique to shooting and 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 would soon follow. 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 several decisive encounters, beautiful projects and long collaborations would emerge, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry exhibition INRI and its eponymous book from Éditions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (the 2009 Pirelli calendar in Botswana).
His photos are published, among others, by Condé Nast Publications (French and international editions), Première, Wallpaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His world also interests brands with very different identity codes, for which he has designed 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 conducted 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 human beauty, the aesthetic and spiritual essence of each personality.
