A course by Louis Dazy
Based in Paris, Louis Dazy originally worked in art direction in a communication agency. Bored with his job, he taught himself photography by immortalizing moments from everyday life. His dreamlike and hypnotic photographs were quickly spotted on Behance and Instagram. Little by little, projects started rolling in and he began working full time.
Since then, Louis has collaborated with major brands such as Yamaha and Adobe. His pictures have appeared in numerous exhibitions and publications. They also feature in the credits of the series Tell Me Your Secrets and gave birth to his book, Dreams in Technicolor.
