This photo evokes the way reflections and city lights are captured and fragmented through glass surfaces, creating an abstract and dynamic vision of urban architecture.

Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full foundation of traditional photography, from the classic techniques, to shooting and retouching, through the laboratory. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to further his training by becoming a set assistant for Daguerre Studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, 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 encounters, beautiful projects and long collaborations were born, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (the 2009 Pirelli calendar in Botswana).

His photos are 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, 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, ...) as well as beauty, cosmopolitan men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human beauty, aesthetics and spiritual essence of every personality.
