As an autodidact photographer, Jean-Baptiste Huynh taught himself photographic lighting and printing techniques, which he mastered to the point of developing a personal style. Between 2006 and 2012, he made a study of light through five photographic projects: Mirrors (2006), Twilight (2007), Fire (2008), Monochrome (2009), Louvre (2010) and Blind (2011). These projects were gathered in the book Lumière along with the personal exhibition presented at the Louvre Museum in Paris.


He is the author of fifteen personal books and he has won several awards, such as the Prix Moins Trente from the National Center for Photography (CNP) in France.

His work has been exhibited in major galleries and museums in France and abroad: Louvre Museum in Paris; Phoenix Art Museum; Photographic Cultural Center in Tokyo; European House of Photography (MEP) in Paris; Guimet Museum in Paris; Multimedia Museum of Art in Moscow, among others.

Interested in capturing the essence of things, purity and simplicity are inseparable elements in Jean-Baptiste Huynh’s work.

Fascinated by the use of light, Jean-Baptiste Huynh’s photographs are impregnated with a sense of timelessness and an attempt to capture infinity. In the Nature series, he shows the intrinsic qualities of each element by playing with light and perspective. The use of black and white photography reinforces the beauty hidden in every still life, and turn some of his images into trompe l'oeil for the viewer.
