Bio
Damien Ropero is a captivating still life photographer whose passion for the genre has been a constant thread throughout his life. Originally from Switzerland and enriched by experiences in Spain and Paris, Damien draws inspiration from the alluring juxtaposition of luxury and everyday American products that once dominated print advertisements. These images, steeped in a culture of unapologetic capitalism and glamour, sparked his imagination, leading him to develop a unique approach that fetishizes and reinterprets product imagery. In his work, Damien specializes in infusing whimsy and a playful sense of humor into the portrayal of luxury goods. His artistry transforms objects into vibrant characters, imbuing them with a personality that leaps from the page and resonates with viewers, enhancing their everyday lives. He masterfully utilizes light and shadow to capture fleeting moments where his subjects seem to embody human emotions—whether laughing, frolicking, or even pouting—creating a narrative that invites the audience into a fantastical world. Damien’s keen eye for color and composition allows him to encapsulate moments in time, reflecting the feelings and aspirations of those who engage with his work. His editorial photography has graced the pages of prestigious publications, including Vogue (Paris, China, and Mexico), Allure, L’Officiel Uomo Italia, and Wonderland. As a sought-after commercial photographer, he has collaborated with an impressive roster of brands, including Loewe, Tory Burch, Hourglass, Swarovski, Bvlgari, Givenchy, NARS, Longchamp, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chloe, DKNY, Makeup For Ever, Clarins, Galeries Lafayette, Viktor & Rolf, Hennessy, Perego, and Narciso Rodriguez. Balancing an active lifestyle between New York, Paris, and wherever his surfboard, skis, and camera may lead him, Damien embodies the lighthearted spirit reflected in his work. His quiet yet mischievous sense of humor infuses life into his images, making them as engaging as the artist himself.
