Biography of Luc Marechaux |
 |
Luc Maréchaux works on both documentaries and photography. As a director and writer of documentaries, he focuses on privileged moments of connection between human beings. Whether he contemplates the life of a homeless man, the efforts of the women of Niger to preserve their traditions, the spiritual path of a Frenchman in India, or a humanitarian mission in Madagascar, His work takes an approach similar to that of “engagé" journalists. From 1998 to 2002 he worked for the Alpha Omega Agency and has operated as an independent photographer since 1996. His photography centers on two themes. The first emphasizes the connection with the other and compliments the tone of his documentaries. Whether in the Congo, India, or Syria, his photos remain, above all, the documentation of what it is to be human. The second theme, using a formalist approach, studies the emergence of beauty in places where one does not expect to find it. His photographs had been included in a number of thematic exhibitions in France and in other countries. Some of them have been published in periodicals, reviews and books.
