Description from the seller
Sunset Tarazout #3– Ben Dauchez
A silhouette facing the vastness, suspended between light and darkness.
This photograph captures a suspended moment at sunset, on the shores of Tarazout, in Morocco.
In the foreground, a solitary silhouette stands out on a rocky promontory, facing a sea with coppery and purplish reflections. The last lights of the day kiss the water's surface, drawing a subtle play of textures, movements and contrasts.
The composition leans on minimalism and the power of silence. The immensity of the ocean contrasts with human presence, inviting contemplation and escape.
Through this image, Ben Dauchez explores the relationship between man and nature, chosen solitude, and the ephemeral beauty of moments that precede nightfall.
An artistic photograph with a cinematographic atmosphere, where deep midnight blues and warm twilight reflections create a strong, timeless visual presence.

Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired all the basics of photography—from classical technique, shooting to retouching, through the laboratory. 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 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 were born, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry exhibition INRI 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 branding codes for which he has signed 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 created numerous celebrity portraits (IGGY POP, Woody HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...) of beauty, worldly men (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the beauty, aesthetics and spiritual essence of each personality.
