Charles Lesaffre

I have been passionate about gardens and plants since childhood. Trained as a landscape architect, I hold an engineering degree in landscape architecture, which gives me a deep understanding of plants, their needs, and the environments in which they thrive.

Alongside my professional background, I explore photography as a creative practice, specializing in capturing the beauty of plants, gardens, and landscapes. My work often combines botanical knowledge with artistic experimentation, using techniques such as painting or cyanotype to highlight texture, light, and natural forms.

In my artistic practice, I aim to create images that evoke the quiet beauty and complexity of the natural world. My botanical expertise, including knowledge of Latin plant names, allows me to guide viewers and collectors in appreciating the life and structure behind each subject.

Whether photographing a vegetable garden, a wild landscape, or a cultivated plant, my work reflects both a love of nature and a desire to translate its subtleties into visual art.
