Photographer · b. 1976, France
Ludwig Favre
Paris-based fine art photographer, working between America's coasts and Europe.
"Each series I create follows the same pursuit: capturing calm and beauty in spaces of transition, turning the everyday into a quiet tableau. I approach photography with almost architectural precision. Every image is carefully planned, yet always open to the unpredictable play of light and reflection. This balance between control and chance shapes the visual language that defines my work."

He is a Lightroom Ambassador, Adobe Insider, and an ambassador for Accidentally Wes Anderson. His work is included in the Ford Foundation Permanent Collection in New York.
