Born on May 1, 1968 in Bordeaux, France, Alain Laboile is a photographer and father of six. In 2004, as he needed to put together a portfolio of his work as a sculptor, he acquired a camera, and thus developped a taste for macrophotography, spurred by his passion for entomology. Later on, he pointed his lens towards his growing family which became his major subject, be it in a realistic depiction of their atypical lifestyle in "La Famille", or in bizarre stagings around a pond in "Réflexion autour du bassin". Alain Laboile's work has since been exhibited around the world and he successfully published a book with Kehrer Verlag: "At the edge of the world". See less
