Laurent Roch Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1970 -

Born in Paris in 1970, Laurent Roch received his first camera at the age of eleven. He studied economics and worked in finance for over two decades, and now lives and exhibits his photographs in Nice. He finds inspiration in the open-air of the streets, reacting to the world around him through constant attention to detail. He has said of his work: "What I look for first and foremost is that unique, fleeting moment. That special moment that, in an instant disappears and is lost forever. In this "open air theatre" of everyday life, I try to capture life in its purest form. Nothing staged, no role playing. I go simply with the flow of what is unfolding around me. When luck offers me just what I am looking for, when everything is just perfectly and naturally in place, in harmony, all I need to do is act on my intuition."
