Laurent Chéhère is a French artist, photographer, art director, documentary filmmaker, illustrator and graphic designer, born in Paris in 1972. Self-taught, at the age of 20, he worked in advertising agency, where he learned art direction, typography, photography, graphic design, concept research, film writing, storyboarding, illustration, design, and photomontage. One day, he decided to quit his job to go round the world and pursue his passion for photography. From Shanghai to Valparaiso, Lhasa, Bogota, and Bamako, he feeds his imagination and shares with us his perspective on the world and others. He loves exploring cities, suburbs, and countries, just as he loves exploring all areas of photography, from reportage to conceptual imagery. From his particular interest in Paris, architecture, social issues, cinema and abstraction, his famous photomontage series Flying Houses was born.
