Description from the seller
Mandela Park #3
Format 40X40 Fine ART
Certificate of Authenticity
Here, shadow and light play a central role, highlighting contrasts and textures, while adding emotional depth to the image. Each detail, from traditional clothing to the expressions on faces, tells a story, that of a proud people attached to their roots.
Ben Dauchez, through this work, invites us to immerse ourselves in a distant yet deeply human reality, where time seems suspended. An invitation to contemplation and reflection on the beauty of encounters and moments shared.
Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired the full set of fundamentals of classic technique, from shooting and retouching to the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to perfect his training by becoming a set assistant for the Daguerre studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir and Studio Zéro. He was fortunate to collaborate with and assist some of the most talented photographers: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From these decisive encounters were born beautiful projects and long collaborations, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry exhibition INRI and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (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 distinct identities for which he has led the creation 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 produced numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, world men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to capture, with complete freedom, the human, aesthetic and spiritual beauty of each personality.
