About Aurelien Villette

I considered the congratulations of the Jury of the “SFR Jeune Talent” in 2012 as a springboard to start my professional career as photographer/author in 2013. Since then I earn my life by selling my different photo productions for art printing.

My work as a photographer gives me the opportunity to travel into numerous countries on different continents and allows me a better understanding of architecture and the geopolitical and cultural influence on the architecture. I integrated in my publications the concept of “spirit of the place”, serving as concept of architecture and urbanism.
