Edouard Mazaré  

Edouard Mazaré is a French photographer. A graduate of the École Nationale des Beaux Arts in 2007, Edouard has been fully engaged in a fascinating artistic series for over 10 years now. Taking a pictorial approach to photography, he assembles the elements at his disposal in real time to extract their graphic essence into a final image. Each of his photographs is therefore taken in a single long shot (between 1 and 12 minutes) and without any editing software. He composes directly in situ using a technique he has fully developed and is still perfecting today. Here, there is no double exposure or superimposition; everything is done blindly during the long shot, allowing for a unique photographic rendering.

In this world where the image has become omnipresent every second and on every network, he enjoys slowing down time, feeling and obtaining rare, constructed and graphic images.

This approach has allowed Edouard to work on major projects for major French names (LVMH, Bouygues, Paprec, Cristal Union) and to win a prize at the Academy of Arts, Sciences and Letters.
