Denis Dailleux
Photographer
French, born 1958 in Angers. Lives in Paris. Member of the VU agency ( Paris ) His photography is apparently calm, but marked by constant doubts. His passion for people has led him to use portraiture as a means of expression, photographing both Catherine Deneuve and anonymous people in the same way.
After falling in love with an Egyptian man, he decided to move to Cairo in 1992 and fell in love with the city and its people, deciding at all costs to return to bear witness to his love for the country. He moved to Cairo in 2007 and decided to go to Ghana in 2009 in the footsteps of the great American photographer Paul Strand, hoping that air, light and sensuality would invade his images.
In 2016, Givaudan commissioned him to illustrate a book on perfumes, and he took the opportunity to photograph men and women at work in Morocco, India, Madagascar and the Comoros Islands. The images resulting from this commission are presented at the Galerie du Passage.
Regularly exhibited and published in the national and international press, his work is the subject of numerous monographs. Denis Dailleux is also the recipient of prestigious awards including a World Press Photo – Staged Portraits category for his “Mère et Fils” series in 2014, and in 2019 the Prix Roger Pic awarded by Scam for his “In Ghana – We shall meet again” series.
