Thomas Dhellemmes has been passionate about photography since childhood. After art studies and a stay in Cape Verde, he returned to Paris and devoted himself entirely to image-making. He founded Atelier Mai 98, dedicated to commissions in the fields of lifestyle and gastronomy, while pursuing a personal body of work. His early projects began with Ektachromes (A Look at Cape Verde, Silent Walk). Since 2000, he has favored the Polaroid SX-70 for its slowness and imprecision. His images evoke fragility, silence, and the ephemeral. “Photography has always been for me a powerful act, one I pursue with modesty and spareness.”
