Ho ! Notre Dame ... (2013) Photography by Paul Benichou

Paul Benichou is a versatile artist whose work transcends the boundaries of disciplines to capture the richness and complexity of our world. Born with a curious eye and a passion for visual exploration, Paul is as much a draftsman as a photographer and a self-taught independent filmmaker.

Since childhood, Paul has been fascinated by the universe around him, approaching life with an insatiable curiosity and a vision that is both fair and objective. For him, the image is not only a reflection but a profound testimony of life itself. Through his drawings and photographs, he seeks to capture the nuances of reality, capturing fleeting moments that tell the story of our existence.

The uniqueness of his work lies in his ability to harmonize image and sound, two elements that he considers inseparable to convey authentic emotion. Paul firmly believes that sound, whether human voices or the sounds of nature, dresses and enriches the image, allowing the viewer to travel beyond the simple visual representation. His approach is to use these elements to evoke an immersive experience, where audio and visual meet to offer a deeper understanding of life.

His work reflects the belief that every day is a new page in a novel, a film of love, adventure and emotions. For Paul Benichou, every moment is an opportunity to add color and sensitivity to our daily story. He sees in the light that nature offers us a happiness that he strives to capture and share without moderation. With a rare sensitivity and a talent for integrating image and sound, Paul invites us to rediscover the world with wonder and to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us at every moment.
