...Of Léon (2020) Photography by Laurent Senneville

Laurent Senneville, French photographer, is an artist who draws his inspiration from a wide range of artistic references. Among his preferences are masters of photography such as Ilya Rashap, Saul Leiter, Sally Mann, Antoine D'Agata, and many others. This diversity of influences enriches his work and allows him to explore different artistic perspectives.

Laurent earned his Diplôme National d'Arts Plastiques at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts Plastiques in Cergy-Pontoise, France, in 1991. Since then, his photographic work has diversified to include portraits of musicians, portraits in general, as well as urban landscapes.

His artistic approach is characterized by a fascination with movement and transformation. In his work, he captures scenes where human bodies seem to blend into an aquatic ballet, donning a second skin made up of cathode cells. These images evoke fluidity and metamorphosis, creating an atmosphere where water becomes a matter in its own right, almost maternal, in contrast with the power and will of the swimming man.

Laurent Senneville invites us to contemplate the beauty of the liquid element and the way in which it influences and transforms our perception of the world. His mastery of photography allows him to capture these fleeting and poetic moments, creating a captivating visual experience for his audience.
