List of products by artists Desnos Louise



French photographer and video maker, born in 1991, based in Paris (France)


Louise Desnos initiated an instinctive photographic practice as a self-taught artist before intending the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs from which she graduated in 2017. She then continued to affirm her delicate and singular style, which she develops both in the context of personal projects, during collaborations with other artists or in the context of commissions for actors of the cultural world, arts or fashion.


Her practice maintains a paradoxical and poetic relationship with everyday coincidence. Her gaze is focused on details, materials and surfaces, bodies, identities and territories. Capturing or provoking situations and “playgrounds” that are fertile for the production of images, she builds her series by looking at her doubts and scattered dreams, by photographing what intrigues and attracts her instinctively: random elements – significant and insignificant.






Her vision and her work question the notions of laziness and melancholy (Acedia), of territory (with her images taken in China and Lebanon), of representation – of identities and genders (Women under Influence) or of photography itself (Scroll, in collaboration with Sophia Taillet).


Also touching on portraiture, documentary and fashion, she carries out commissions for the cultural press (Les Inrocks, M le Monde, Trax, Society, Mouvement, Kinfolk), the fashion world (Nike, Le Bon Marché, American Vintage, Carne Bollente) and collaborates, in parallel, with arts centres (Villa Noailles, Maison Populaire de Montreuil, La Horde, Ballet National de Marseille), but also labels, artists, designers and directors.


Since 2016, her work has been regularly exhibited in France (Festival de Mode et de Photographie, La Villa Noailles, La Design Parade, Paris Photo, la Villette, la Maison Populaire de Montreuil), in Europe (Festival Off Bratislava) and in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Xiamen and Chengdu
