Zenon Lallier is a photographer born in 1995.
His images are glimpses of human nature, feelings, fears.
Inspired by the contradictions and opposition of nature and the darkness of megacities (where modern ideals are, more than ever, detaching from reality), Lallier tries to portray feelings and fears of a generation trapped in paradoxes, and it's complicated relationship with the environment.
Lallier grew up around the massif ardennais. He left and started a long journey in 2013, and lived a nomadic life ever since. He lived in England, Brazil, Senegal, the United-States and India. He started to work with photography in March 2024.
He currently studies classical french literature. His work is inspired by obscure and gloomy 19th century novels like those of Barbey d'Aurevilly. Early in life, he was influenced and inspired by the works of photographers like David LaChapelle, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Craig McDean, Steven Klein but also by photographers like Theo Gosselin or Siân Davey, drawing a conflicting ideal within him between a natural and truthful representation of nature and freedom against a surrealist representation of darkness and fantasies. His work could be situated somewhere in-between reality and reverie.
