L'homme à la pipe (2011) Photography by Laurent Roch

Laurent Roch is a French photographer whose work, exhibited both nationally and internationally, is a perpetual quest for harmony and balance. His photographic compositions capture the essence of urban reality, seeking to reveal the beauty hidden in the simplest and most immediate details.

Through his wanderings through cities, Laurent strives to capture the banality of the moment with a precision that gives his works a poetic and timeless dimension. Fascinated by the rhythm and density of city life, he lets himself be carried away by the movement of the city, armed with his camera and, perhaps, a knowing half-smile.

Laurent Roch creates images that recall the aesthetics of Italian cinema of the fifties, where each shot seems to freeze a moment of grace. However, his photos also incorporate an oriental touch, highlighting the solitude of man in the middle of the city. His compositions are characterized by precise geometry, assertive sobriety and a keen sense of perspective.

This mix of influences gives rise to shots that are both contemporary and timeless, imbued with humanity and a touch of humor. Laurent Roch manages to transform ordinary scenes into vibrant paintings, where simplicity and depth coexist.
