Among all the subjects he is given to photograph, Ludwig Favre is particularly fond of the great landscapes of the United States. Appreciating the grazing lights of the evenings and mornings, in the interstice of the golden hours, the artist brings, not without a certain nostalgia, a soft tone to his images which evoke the passage of time.
About the artwork
Located in the Sonoran Desert in the United States, the city of Palm Spring is distinguished by its retro futuristic architecture, its palm trees but also and above all its swimming pools. In this series dedicated to the small town in southern California, French photographer Ludwig Favre immortalizes the typical scenery of the region. A true invitation to escape, the colorful settings of Palm Spring are staged in compositions that are as shimmering as they are refreshing.
Born in Senlis in 1976, Ludwig Favre now lives and works in Paris. Art history, multimedia and audiovisual studies, but also the transmission of a passion between a father and his son were the means that trained the photographer’s eye, sensitive to the reproduction of picturesque landscapes. Photographic practice allows Ludwig Favre to record “slices of life” that he likes to capture in a spontaneous way, on his many travels. Notably the ones produced between France and the United States, where he feels at home. In New York in particular, Ludwig Favre allows himself to be surprised by the stunning infrastructure of the city, which is like none other. Whenever he has the chance, he reveals a vision that is both dynamic and serene. Winner of the Geo Prize in 2015, his images have been shown in Paris, Sydney, Seoul, New York, and Los Angeles. They have also been used by the major brands Bauer Media Group, Visa Platinum, L’Oréal, and the US Open.
