Leo Caillard was born in Paris in 1985 and possesses the characteristics of leading creative photographers. Graduating in 2008 from France’s internationally renowned Gobelins School of Visual Communication, Leo began developing his series 'Art Games' and 'Hipster in Stones'. His most recent work includes dressing the Renaissance and ancient statues of the Louvre as contemporary “hipsters”, forcing the viewer to question what is real, and what could be.

Aside form the dynamics of Leo's imagination, what is apparent is his total mastery of 21st Century tools of the trade. An irrepressible curiosity coupled with a meticulous mastery of current imaging technologies 3D image and photographic manipulation, Leo's insights cause us to question the relativity of our daily experiences.
