Description from the seller
Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ started in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full range of photography basics—from classic technique, to shooting, to retouching, through to the lab. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to perfect his training by becoming a set assistant for Daguerre studios, as Le Petit Oiseau Va Sortir and le Studio Zéro were coming out. 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 decisive encounters, beautiful projects and long collaborations took shape, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry exhibition INRI and its eponymous book published by Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (the Pirelli 2009 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 universe also interests brands with very different branding codes, for which he has signed the production of 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 HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELА...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human beauty, aesthetics, and the spiritual essence of each personality.
