Romain Laprade has built a photographic language that feels both precise and instinctive. His images capture spaces in a way that strips them down to their essential elements: light, color, and form, allowing the subtle beauty of each place to emerge. He looks at the ordinary and makes you see it differently. Before committing fully to photography, Laprade worked as a graphic designer for Vogue Paris and Holiday Magazine, experiences that sharpened his attention to composition, proportion, and the relationship between image and space. His work has since been published widely and sought after by brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Saint Laurent. His Distances series, published by Yvon Lambert, collects photographs taken over the years, shaped by his interest in modernist and brutalist architecture, fleeting shadows, and overlooked spaces. Across all three volumes, Laprade presents images that strip away distraction, leaving behind a sense of stillness and presence. From sunlit facades to quiet interiors and vast open landscapes, the series captures moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, inviting the viewer to slow down and see space in a new way.
