Ben Dauchez - Summer Pool #2

Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben DAUCHEZ started in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle. There he acquired all the basics of photography from classical technique, to shooting and retouching, including 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 and assist the most talented photographers: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From certain decisive encounters were born beautiful projects and long collaborations, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sulfurous INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel) and Peter BEARD (Pirelli 2009 calendar in Botswana).
His photos are published, among others, in Editions Condé Nast (French and international), Première, WallPaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Dandy Magazine... His universe also interests brands with very different identity 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 produced numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody HALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, ...), beauty, men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA ...) and travelers...
This photographic path has since allowed him to freely immortalize the human, aesthetic, and spiritual beauty of each personality.
