About Artist

Sebastien Desnoulez

Sebastien Desnoulez discovered photography at the age of 18 while preparing for his first trip to the United States. Very soon, the image became a language of its own. He deepened his practice at the university of Nacogdoches, in East Texas, before embarking on a career as a press agency photojournalist. For several years, he covered major international motorsport events — from Formula 1 Grand Prix to IndyCar races and the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. Behind the adrenaline of the circuits, he refined his sense of framing, of speed, of captured tension. This visual instinct, sharpened by action and intensity, now informs a deeply artistic body of work. Sebastien’s photographic vision is grounded in contrasts and dualities: motion versus stillness, sharpness against blur, raw matter confronted with light. His art thrives in this dialogue of opposites, where structure meets emotion. His compositions are both intuitive and deliberate, sensitive yet architectural. His artistic signature emerges with strength in two major domains: – Architectural photography, where he explores lines, volumes, and shadow with near-painterly precision. His images reveal the graphic power of buildings and urban spaces, blending geometric abstraction with quiet emotion. – Landscape photography, practiced across the globe. Once again, light becomes substance, composition becomes a balance of forces, and the horizon offers a moment of inner grounding. His work embraces a minimalist and contemplative aesthetic, inviting a slower gaze and a heightened awareness of space, time, and presence. Each photograph is designed as a visual pause, a poetic encounter with the real, where less reveals more. Based in France, Sebastien Desnoulez presents his limited-edition fine art prints through the online gallery Une image pour rêver. There, he shares a demanding and poetic photographic vision — one where reality becomes a refined language.
