Laurent Benaïm

Born in 1965, I was first trained and experienced as a professional mainstream photographer. For the last 10 years, I have been working exclusively on my personal production as an author.

My work is rooted in my intense curiosity to explore sensuality, sexuality, and their universes of pleasures and emotions. My wish is to uncover the intimacy of bodies, which makes them so precious.
I work with a diversity of models who share their practises, fantasies, excitements with my camera. My pictures are also a claim about the beauty of their practises.

My pictures are made out of black and white negative films developed via a bichromate gum process, on paper or wood.
