A course by Fabien Dendiével
Fabien Dendiével fell into the world of photography at a very young age, thanks to his father's love of beautiful pictures. He went on to become a self-taught photographer, inspired by his travels and walks. When he switched to medium format, his passion became his full-time job. He is now based in Montpellier, in the south-east of France, and shares his work through his website and his Instagram account, which has more than 15K followers.
Empty spaces and stripped-down compositions are his favorite canvases, as if revealing the invisible. Whether in the wide-open spaces of the American West or in modern architecture, he is always inspired by the play of light and minimalist compositions.
