Aurélien Bayo grew up in Besançon, a quiet student town in eastern France, where he studied English and Cinema. At 22, he took a big leap and moved to the United States.
His work primarily consists of portraiture and landscape, rooted in a documentary tradition yet deeply influenced by cinema and fiction. He strives to document people’s lives with authenticity and dignity while imbuing his imagery with a personal, poetic perspective that transcends a purely literal approach.
