Né à Saint-Tropez en 1972, Romain Lienhardt se révèle précocement photosensible (ce que vient vite confirmer, durant le lycée, une formation d’éclairagiste de plateau à la SFP). Après un Deug d’Arts plastiques, il débute donc dans la vie active en 1996 comme éclairagiste et photographe de plateau au service Photo de France 2.
Mais, très vite, il rencontre Dominique Issermann dont il devient plusieurs mois l’assistant en 1997 et qui lui fait prendre alors un virage inattendu vers la photographie de mode : jusqu’en 2000 au Studio Pin-up, à Paris, puis jusqu’en 2002 en freelance, il assistera de nombreux photographes de renom tels que Peter Lindbergh, Paolo Roversi, Patrick Demarchelier, Terry Richardson, Rankin, Mario Sorrenti… Et c’est donc dès 2002 qu’il exercera une activité de photographe freelance à part entière, notamment pour la maison de style et de tendance Trend-Union et des magasines tels que Wad, View on colour, Bloom ou In view qui lui permettent d’élargir son champ d’action au design, à la décoration, à l’architecture.
Perpétuellement enrichi de l’expérience aussi exigeante que protéiforme de ces travaux de commande, Romain Lienhardt ne cesse d’approfondir en parallèle les recherches artistiques personnelles qui l’animent depuis toujours et dont le fruit est visible lors de diverses expositions, individuelles ou collectives (notamment à trois reprises en 2002, 2003 et 2010, avec l’agence Edelkoort Inc, à Paris et à New York ; mais aussi en Belgique, en 2007, pour le 175e anniversaire de Delvaux ; ainsi que, à Paris, à l’Espace Richelieu, au Studio Pin-up, à l’Espace 43, à l’Espace Artcore…)
Actuellement, il travaille sur plusieurs projets d’expositions autour de thèmes qui lui sont chers et à propos desquels il dispose d’une matière riche, inédite, et qui ne se cantonne pas strictement au seul support photographique bidimensionnel : la transformation des jouets par l’enfant dans l’optique de leur réappropriation, la dispersion temporelle au travers de décors et de mises en scène photographiques, ou bien encore des dispositifs d’installations et de sculptures faisant intervenir la photographie et la vidéo sur des phénomènes sociaux tout à fait actuels.
Born in St-Tropez in 1972 Romain Lienhardt has become « photosensible » quite early. This trait confirms itself during his high-school years when he interns as a set electrician at the ‘Société Française de Production’ in Paris. After an associate degree in Arts, he starts his career as a set electrician and photographer at the photography department of France 2 (a French television channel).
He meets Dominique Issermann shortly afterwards and works as her assistant for a few months in 1997. This encounter triggers an unexpected turn in Romain’s career as he now becomes involved in fashion photography. He works for ‘Studio Pin Up’ in Paris until 2000. From 2000 until 2002 he freelances as an assistant to many renowned fashion photographers among which Peter Lindbergh, Paolo Roversi, Patrick Demarchelier, Terry Richardson, Rankin, and Mario Sorrenti.
In 2002 Romain starts his solo freelance photographer career shooting for ‘Trend-Union’, a studio of style and trends or magazines such as Wad, View on Colour, Bloom or In view. This broadens Romain’s knowledge in design, interior decorating and architecture.
The endless, highly demanding as well as multi-faceted nature of freelance also enables Romain to hone his own work. The fruit of his personal artistic research and development is showcased at many collective as well as solo shows : most notably in 2002, 2003 and again in 2010 for Edelkoort Inc agency in Paris and New York, in Belgium for the 175th anniversary of Delvaux’s birth, in the following Parisian galleries : Espace Richelieu, Studio Pin-Up, Espace 43 or even Espace Artcore .
Romain is now preparing several shows centering on subjects dear to his heart. His substantial and unusual inspiration is not confined to the bi-dimensionality of photography. For example : a child’s transformation of his toys in order to re-interpret them, timelessness through set decoration and production, or art installations mingling sculpture, photography and video in order to communicate on contemporary social phenomena.
