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

Passionate about photography from a very young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full spectrum of photographic basics—from classical technique, shooting, and retouching to the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to further his training by becoming a set assistant for Daguerre studios, with 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 decisive encounters, beautiful projects and long collaborations emerged, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (Pirelli calendar 2009 in Botswana).

His photos 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, or 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, a world travelers... This photographic path has since allowed him to freely capture the human beauty, aesthetics, and spirit of each personality.
