Franck Leboulenger was born on July 15th, 1965 in Lisieux and lives in Rouen in Haute-Normandie (France). "I tasted for the first time the enjoyments of the creation of images at about 12 years: the drawing to begin. I reproduced portraits in magazines. Then,the human body. Later, I came to the photo, further to the death of my father whose inheritance left me for only things an old post radio and a camera. I am now professional photographer, and live only this passion. I like to work the erotic photo because it offers a complete work of the light and the aesthetics of the body. The work of creation with model is very important, a session is a mixture of ideas, mine, those of the model, there is one vital leads, a basic subject which mostly derives towards immediate ideas. The creation of beautiful pictures, the emphasis of the beauty of the woman, is sources of perpetual inspiration..."

Francois Benveniste was born in 1963 and is living in Paris, France. He specializes in nude art photography but also does landscapes and "old stones". As a photographer he merely wishes to foster emotions in the viewer's mind and heart and doesn't want any of his intentions to be carried through to the viewer. He believes that the work is only finished when somebody takes from one second to one year to look at the image and applies to it his own biases, hopes, delights, detestation or pleasures. His photos are a collective work than span from the model to the spectator and of which he is only a participant.

La passion de la photo m'a été transmise par mon père un peu avant l'age de 10 ans en le regardant développer ses clichés, (j'en ai plus de 55 maintenant). Pour le nu, ça n'a commencé qu'avec mes premières copines, mais plus pour le souvenir que dans une démarche photographique. Après avoir essayé avec plus ou moins de réussite tout ce qui compose le domaine de la photo en général, je me suis petit à petit concentré vers le portrait. Au départ avec des enfants, ceux de mes copains ,les miens puis des adultes, surtout des femmes et naturellement cela m'a conduit au nu. Au départ académique, j'ai vite trouvé mon " truc " en mettant mes modèles dans dans situations improbables par rapport à leur nudité. Je privilégie la lumière naturelle tant que les conditions sont possibles, grande ouverture et petite vitesse sur pied. Mais bon on en fait tout de même assez vite le tour, à l'heure actuelle, je cherche à travailler des thèmes inspirés de tout ce qui peut faire référence à des idées connues, quelles soient d'ordre artistiques, philosophique, historique, mystiques, etc.…. Je sui resté amateur justement parce que j'aime trop la photo et que je pense que si je devais avoir une contrainte quelconque, une obligation de résultat et pire de la rentabilité le plaisir se transformerait sans doute en corvée.

For portraits, fashion and nudes photographs in day light or studio, I always treat my work with passion. It is mainly nudes that influenced my photographs where woman always appears as the main subject. To shoot models became very quickly my specialization. The body and the feminine beauty are highlighted, but I wish to go beyond this appearance given by the photograph and achieve the idea of portrait to capture an expressive attitude. I bring the model to give to me a little bit of herself. I know perfectly that photography will never reveal the inner personality, but at least it can transmit an emotion and that emotion comes from the soul by the intermediary of the interaction between the model and the photographer during the shooting. Body and Soul an infinite subject of predilection. Being a photographer is always a question of being able to escape to a world of magic, of unrealistic ambiance like in your dream. Dreams that are becoming true to appear on a picture with some of them even appealing the spectator when the sight of the model looks straight at him. I am today freelance photographer. As my work has been appreciated and featured on many websites, I decided to become professional. I travel to shoot everywhere a production calls me but I am sharing my time for a living and work between Riga Latvia and Paris France.
