Serge Deleu

After photographing the reflections of boats on the water and producing some early, less successful works, I left for Düsseldorf to work as an assistant in a photography studio for two years. 

There, I learned how to use view cameras and medium-format cameras in the worlds of fashion, still life, and advertising. Then I traveled across the United States by Greyhound bus. The images I brought back were used to build a German photo library. Upon returning to France, I worked as a staff photographer for four years at a studio in Lille, then became a freelance professional photographer. My work is divided between studio and location shoots. 

As a perfectionist, I focus primarily on applied photography: still lifes, food photography, and jewelry photography, as well as photojournalism, mainly for communications agencies. At the same time, I pursue personal projects guided by light and circumstances, especially while traveling. Today, I devote much less time to commercial photography in favor of my personal work.
