A young French photographer based in Nantes, Laurent Castellani has the art of taming natural light to sublimate the raw beauty of his models. Spotted for his minimalist, emotionally charged shots, the photographer regularly collaborates with major brands in the luxury sector and has just been approached by Netflix. He will exhibit his work at "Paris Photo Off" from November 8 to 10 in Paris. As far back as he can remember, Laurent has always been captivated by the image. When he discovered Robert Doisneau's "Le Baiser" gallery in La Rochelle through the bay window, the little boy dreamed of himself instead of the photographer. Enchanted by the almost unreal beauty of the cliché, Laurent is passionate about the image. He started his career as a digital designer in the luxury industry. In parallel with his free time, he explores his creativity by shooting films with his reflex. The wind that caresses the dunes, the sand of Pornic, the undulation of the ocean... Laurent captures everything that seems beautiful to him. Through a grain, colours, a vibration, he works each plane as an emotion. Spotted by Bose, the brand resumed its first film. And then everything accelerates. Movies, he goes to photography. His Mulholland series marks a turning point in his career. Bewitching, dreamlike, almost frightening clichés in which French models evolve, mysterious women in the darkness of urban settings. A series close to David Lynch's visual writing that the photographer willingly cites as a reference. Gradually, his style was refined. The artist develops his attraction for minimalism. He tamed natural light to sublimate the raw beauty of his models. Clean shots, full of softness and emotion that leave only the essential to the eye. His style, immediately recognizable, seduces many luxury brands with whom he regularly collaborates. Very popular on instagram, Netflix notices its work via social networks. Since then, the photographer has been working with the online video giant on a possible collaboration. Her first night series "Mullholand drive" was nominated for the 2018 Fine Art Photography Awards.
