With Distances Vol. 3, Romain Laprade expands his vision of an ever-growing collection, further exploring space, form, and light. Featuring a majority of recent images from the past two years, along with select archival works, this latest volume deepens his dialogue with architecture and landscape, capturing new locations while staying true to his instinct for finding beauty in the overlooked.
Moving between sunlit coastlines, sprawling deserts, and quiet urban corners, Distances Vol. 3 captures the subtle relationship of structure and stillness across continents. From the American West to Africa, Europe, and beyond, Laprade’s eye remains drawn to the way light shapes surfaces and how fleeting moments give everyday spaces an almost cinematic quality.
As with the first volume, Distances Vol. 3 will be accompanied by an exhibition, further bringing these images into physical space. Published by Yvon Lambert, this edition reaffirms Romain Laprade’s position as a singular voice in photography, inviting viewers to slow down, look closer, and see the familiar in a new way.
Romain Laprade has built a photographic language that feels both precise and instinctive. His images capture spaces in a way that strips them down to their essential elements: light, color, and form, allowing the subtle beauty of each place to emerge. He looks at the ordinary and makes you see it differently.
Before committing fully to photography, Laprade worked as a graphic designer for Vogue Paris and Holiday Magazine, experiences that sharpened his attention to composition, proportion, and the relationship between image and space. His work has since been published widely and sought after by brands like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, and Saint Laurent.
His Distances series, published by Yvon Lambert, collects photographs taken over the years, shaped by his interest in modernist and brutalist architecture, fleeting shadows, and overlooked spaces. Across all three volumes, Laprade presents images that strip away distraction, leaving behind a sense of stillness and presence. From sunlit facades to quiet interiors and vast open landscapes, the series captures moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, inviting the viewer to slow down and see space in a new way.
