Pache, Philippe
Philippe Pache (1961 in Lausanne) is a photographer, who lives and works in Lausanne. He Pache studied photography at the School of Applied Arts of Vevey. He began working as a freelance photographer in Switzerland and then became a member of the Rapho agency in Paris. In the 1990s, he was the official photographer of the ballet troupe of Maurice Béjart, then worked for the dance Prix de Lausanne. In parallel to his commercial work for the press and Swiss illustration, with an accent on portrait photography, he developed a personal work of a rare subtlety. Fascinated by the movement of the body, the delicacy of the skin, the beauty of the nude, he photographs in warm shades of black and white or in soft colors. Paying great attention to light, his photographs exude a quiet sensuality. Celebrated for his portrait work, he frequently teaches his approach in workshops. His work has been awarded several times, as in 1989 with the Grand Prix de la Photographie suisse or in 1995 with the 3rd Prize of the International Biennial of Photography in Tokyo. His works are regularly exhibited, in Switzerland, in France and abroad and have entered several major public collections of photographs.
