About Raoul Dobremel Archives

Raoul was born in August 1970. Raised in Sceaux near Paris, he expressed his artistic streak through various creative activities like painting and sculpting before settling on photography.

He works almost exclusively with SLR NIKON D3 D2X,D2H

"I am curious and want to know; my subjects are things and people who impress and fascinate me. I started taking pictures when i was just a kid, pretending to be a photographer with cardboard cameras i'd make myself. I dreamt of making images, i thought that was magic."

A photo workshop organised by his teacher in primary school led him to creating his first slideshow. From there on, his mind was made up. Having spent some time in photo studio in Paris, he worked for two years with Jack Burlot at Corporate images, shooting corporate report in north and south america and most european capitals. At the same time he studied photojournalism with Gamma formation program. Back in Paris, a city that fascinates him, he did commercial photography as well as portraits of actors, writers and musicians. He has also worked for magazines (BMG, Libération, TV guide, Capital, Time Out, Reed , Canal +, arte tv, Zurban, Apple Computer, Remy Martin, Belfond publishing, Hors Collection, France Loisirs, 17 juin productions, Templiers productions, France 4, Morgane Production, AFP, Le Figaro). He has completed his education as the assistant of Thierry des Ouches with whom he worked in advertising and on his photo books.

"My personal tastes, my education and my eclectic interests have led me to combine photography with the fine arts. With digital photography, I can mix my drawings and my portraits to give them a new life, to have them all a more imaginative story, to instill a certain magie."
