Ben Dauchez - Woody Allen # El Cultural el Pais

This remarkable fine art black-and-white print captures a rare moment of intimate stillness. The photograph, initially published in the prestigious magazine El Cultural (El País), stands out for its masterful composition and exceptional technical quality. The image reveals a flawless mastery of light, creating a subtle play of shadows and highlights that emphasize the subject's features. The close-up framing and the slightly offset angle give the portrait psychological depth, while the famous thick black-framed glasses have become iconic. This edition, exhibited at the ARLES photography meetings, is the first print in a limited edition of 15 copies of this format. The photograph, originating directly from BEN DAUCHEZ's studio, is numbered and hand-signed by the artist. It will be delivered with an authenticity certificate written and signed by the photographer. About BEN DAUCHEZ: Passionate about photography from a young age, Ben began in the neighborhood studios of La Rochelle (France). There he acquired the full range of the basics of classic technique, from shooting to retouching, through to the darkroom. At 22, freshly graduated, he moved to Paris to perfect his training by becoming a plate assistant for the Daguerre studios, Le Petit Oiseau va sortir, and Studio Zéro. Ben had the opportunity to collaborate with and assist photographers of great talent: Bettina RHEIMS, Patrick DEMARCHELIER, Terry RICHARDSON, Ellen VON UNWERTH, Marcus MAM... From certain decisive encounters arose beautiful projects and long collaborations, notably with André RAU, Bettina RHEIMS (the sultry INRI exhibition and its eponymous book at Editions Albin Michel), Peter BEARD (Pirelli 2009 calendar in Botswana). His photos have been published, among others, by Condé Nast Editions (French and international), Première, Wallpaper, ID, Madame Figaro, Lifestyles, Vogue, Dandy Magazine… His world also interests brands with very different brand identities for which he has led institutional and/or advertising campaigns: Dior (beauty), L'Oréal, Peugeot, Philip Morris, or Burger King (advertising awarded at Dubai Lynx), PEUGEOT Motorcycles, ... He has also produced numerous portraits of celebrities (IGGY POP, Woody ALLEN, Grace JONES, Jean DUJARDIN, Gilles LELLOUCHE, Olivier MARCHAL, Carole BOUQUET, Charlotte GAINSBOURG, Blake Lively…) of beauty, men of the world (Olivier DASSAULT, Jacques SEGUELA...) and travelers... This photographic path has since allowed him to freely capture the human beauty, aesthetics, and spirit of each personality.
