Description of the work

With Majorelle Multi-Exposure #1, Ben Dauchez offers a graphic and contemporary interpretation of Marrakech’s architecture.

Through a play of photographic superimpositions, the artist composes an image that is almost abstract where architectural lines, balconies, geometric structures, and vegetal elements meet and respond to one another.

The different exposures create a singular visual depth. The transparencies and the colored contrasts dialogue, blending intense blues, purples, ochres, and deep greens, giving the image a nearly pictorial dimension.

Here, architecture becomes photographic matter. Perspectives cross, forms overlap, and the eye gradually discovers a composition rich in detail.

This work is part of an artistic research around architectural photography, color, and the deconstruction of the image.

Created by Ben Dauchez, an art photographer, this photograph is offered as a Fine Art print in a square format of 50 × 50 cm, unframed.

A graphic and contemporary piece that will naturally find its place in a modern interior or a collection of art photography.

Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he learned the fundamentals of classic technique, from shooting to retouching and through the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to refine his training by becoming a set assistant for Daguerre studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, and Studio Zéro. He had the opportunity 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 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, and Burger King (advertising awarded at Dubai Lynx).

Ben DAUCHEZ has also created numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody ALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...), as well as beauty, men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...), and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human beauty, aesthetics, and spiritual essence of each personality.
