Comment: AI / LLM is still very much present here. So two examples: "His work has been discussed in publications including The Guardian, Le Figaro and Business of Fashion."
- now the Figaro story isn't summarised at all, it is name-checked in the previous sentence is a way that does not make sense. See WP:AIATTR. Then"performative culture of fashion imagery."
- the Guardian source does not actually say that, it's a woolly overlay of roughly approximate language. Now dissecting AI point by point isn't that helpful, since AI simply is not allowed per WP:NEWLLM. ChrysGalley (talk) 13:13, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
Career
Early work
Luraschi’s early photographic practice included medium-format photographs produced in the United States. Writing in 2011, Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa observed that his images “can seem strange, but gradually they open up fissures in our sense of that strangeness through which unexpected stories pour out.”[2]
Street photography
In the mid-2010s, Luraschi produced a series of street photographs depicting anonymous figures photographed from behind. Writing in The Guardian in 2014, journalist Morwenna Ferrier described Luraschi as pioneering a candid approach to street-style photography that focused on photographing subjects from behind rather than staging posed images.[3]
In The One Device (2017), journalist Brian Merchant referenced Luraschi’s series as emblematic of how smartphone photography reshaped street documentation. Merchant noted that the images “went viral,” attributing their circulation to their faceless, repeatable composition, which enabled rapid online sharing and imitation.[4]
His long-running back-portrait project was published in 2024 as Stop Following Me.[5]
Fashion and editorial work
Luraschi is closely associated with the early visual identity of Jacquemus. Beginning in 2015, he photographed several campaigns for the brand, including La Reconstruction, Les Santons de Provence, La Bomba and L’Amour d’un Gitan. The campaign L’Amour d’un Gitan later expanded into the monograph Ensemble, published by Loose Joints in 2021.[6][7]
Business of Fashion included his imagery for Jacquemus in its “Top 10 Campaigns of the Season” (March 2017), describing it as “striking imagery” that cast the label in “a newly mature light.”[8]
For M Le Monde, he photographed writer Leïla Slimani for the magazine’s November 2019 cover.[9]
In April 2020, Luraschi participated in M Le Monde’s “Photographes confinés” project, contributing a self-portrait alongside other photographers working in isolation.[10]
He directed the music video for Cola Boyy’s “Penny Girl” (2018) and a short film on photographer Ralph Gibson featured by Nowness.[11][12]
Art projects and exhibitions
In 2018, Luraschi produced I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE, a 100 × 300 cm installation composed of 500 sequenced photographs of pedestrians in Brussels. The work was presented during Art Brussels in collaboration with The Community and Coherent Gallery.[13]
His work has also been exhibited at the Musée MAMO in Marseille as part of the project Marseille Je T’Aime (2017).[14]
Teaching and public talks
Luraschi has taught Applied Photography in the Master’s program at ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne).[15] He has participated in public talks and conferences at institutions including Jeu de Paume and Paris Photo.[16][17]
Personal life
Luraschi was born in Paris and raised by American parents working in film. His father wrote and directed the 1979 British film The Outsider. He is the grandson of film executive Luigi Luraschi.
