photographer based in paris

about ludovic

born in brittany, ludovic currently lives and works in paris. after pursuing studies in the humanities, he turned to photography and enrolled at ENS louis-lumière. his childhood is particularly marked by a close contact with the ocean, which instills his work with a very graphic and cinematographic sensitivity. with a singular look on the poetry of daily life, he enjoys capturing scenes of the everyday with intense lights and a refined aesthetic. he is inspired by different visual worlds such as photography, design or architecture, but also music and literature.
