About Anthony Basquin

Coming from a business school, and after a few years in the marketing of new technologies in Europe, Anthony branches off in graphic design for advertising. He develops a parallel passion for photography and professionally uses his skills for advertising projects.

Fed with classic and contemporary photographic works, Anthony also draws inspiration from fantasy literature and filmmaking for its staging, framing and work light.

Whether portrait or landscape, Anthony sees the light as his main lifeline throughout his work: to give relief, to raise up a texture, to set up an ambiance, to suggest a deep interplay of contrasts, to emphasize an element, to structure the whole picture.

He directed his first full series "Contemporary African Icons" around intergenerational symbols of everyday life in Africa, before, during and after the independence era, a continent he knows well for having lived there for the last ten years.
