Photographer and landscape architect Alexandre Petzold explores the links between man and landscape through a variety of projects and notable collaborations.
Alexandre Petzold trained as a photographer and landscape architect, and is a graduate of the École Du Breuil and the ENSP in Versailles. He lives in Villennes-sur-Seine, where he works as a freelance photographer. His work explores the links between man and landscape, through series devoted to gardens, urban sites or sites in transition, and the evolution of inhabited environments.
He documents landscaping sites, public spaces and environmental projects for institutions, landscape architects and architects. In particular, he has worked with the SNCF, the Royaumont Foundation and the Potager du Roi in Versailles. In 1993 he was awarded the EDF Foundation prize for his photographs of European landscapes.
His images have been used in a number of technical and scientific publications, as well as in books such as No Do. L'homme qui écoute les légumes (Actes Sud, 2016). His eye combines documentary precision with a sensitive attention to places, seeking to reveal their memory, their uses, and the living forms that make them up.
