Originally from France, after studying business and completing a Master’s in marketing, Adrien began his career in the advertising world, working in production for a Barcelona-based company. Surrounded by shoots and creative teams, he developed an interest in photography and what started as curiosity gradually turned into something more focused, leading him to London and to the Professional Photography Course which he completed in 2017.
Since then, has since established himself as an internationally renowned Still Life photographer and Filmmaker working between London and Paris. His work is defined by a distinctive visual, blending the ordinary with the exquisite, creating images that feel both precise and expressive.
In the early stages of his photographic journey, Adrien explored street photography and architecture where he developed an eye for structure, rhythm and space. During his time on the PPC, that interest evolved into a more refined visual language, with a growing focus on still life. The shift allowed him to bring together his interest in design, composition and storytelling in a more controlled and deliberate way.
“I would recommend 100% LIoP to any one who wants to learn photography in its overall. You will study all aspects of photography and discover in which fields you want to specialised. That is the most important if you want to become a professional photographer. Moreover you will be surrounded by very good teachers and an amazing director Holger Pooten. Indeed Holger is very passionate and is always attentive to his students. I have to say that he is by far one of the best teacher I’ve ever had.”
Adrien’s process is rooted in experimentation, often sourcing objects from flea markets, online and his immediate surrounding, drawn to unusual shapes, textures and materials. From there, the work becomes about arrangement — testing how elements relate to one another, how negative space can be used and how small adjustments can transform an image.
Since completing the course, Adrien has worked with a range of international editorial titles as well as brands. He was represented by CLM (Camilla Lauder Management), one of the world’s most established photography agents and is now with 37.2 Agency in Paris.
His work has appeared in prestigious editorial titles including HTSI, Harper’s Bazaar US, Lampoon, Wallpaper*, Port Magazine and WSJ, and he has collaborated with global luxury brands such as Chanel, Dior, Burberry, Vyrao and Zara.
