LUDO CAZEBA
Born in France, Ludovic spent 20 years in commercial, documentary photography & social impact projects — selling 80,000+ prints, winning IPA Awards, shooting for Ogilvy and Harper's Bazaar.
Then he made a choice. Not to photograph what sells anymore.
To photograph what matters.
Licensed Artist — The Neon Museum Las Vegas.
« “I identify as a storyteller as much as I do a photographer.” »
Art Must Serve People & Causes
I photograph what we're losing. And who we're forgetting.
Neon signs demolished for corporate profit. Women erased from history books. Animal Walfaire . Survivors whose testimonies will soon be silence. Children whose resilience shames our cynicism.
This is not decoration. This is evidence.
« “Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, you can move and shape the world.” »
The model is simple. Create work that serves the many. Funded by collectors who deserve to be part of it. Sales fund Say Stop domestic violence prevention. Sales fund educational kits for schools.
Sales fund what matters. Not charity added to art. Art designed to serve.
ICONIC WOMEN
Celebrating Women Who Moved — And Still Move & Shape — The World
Ask anyone to name ten women who changed the world. Most struggle past five.
Not ignorance. Erasure. Systematic. Deliberate.
Women did the work. Men took the credit. Iconic Women restores the record.
219+ biographical profiles. Living legends and historical pioneers.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg alongside Simone Veil. Michelle Obama next to Gisèle Halimi.
Scientists, activists, artists, leaders — across generations.
« “Some see history books. I see the absences.” »
"Some see history books. I see the absences."
Educational kits reach 5,000+ schools. Free.
10% profits fund Say Stop.
Not just inspiration. Infrastructure for change.
Say Stop.
Breaking the Silence
Between ages 3 and 13, I repeated "Stop" thousands of times.
To my father. Beating my mother.
He didn't stop.
Martine survived. Raised me alone.
Saw the artist in me before I saw it myself.
She died in 2020.
Her death became catalyst.
« “I will never again be helpless spectator.” »
Say Stop transforms personal trauma into global action.

Afterglow
What Remains When the Lights Go Out
2016. First visit to The Neon Museum Boneyard. Surrounded by skeletons of signs that once pulsed with forty thousand volts of American promise.
The Stardust. The Moulin Rouge. Binion's Horseshoe. Each one witnessed decades of history. Desegregation. The Rat Pack. Organized crime.
Corporate takeover. Each one discarded when casinos decided history was less profitable than parking lots. Casinos implode buildings. LED replaces neon.
Heritage disappears. I photograph what remains.
« “Some see neon signs as kitsch. I see America’s last cathedrals.” »
The Neon Museum granted Licensed Artist status.
Not just access. Institutional endorsement. Collectors don't just own photographs. They become preservationists.

Ludovic a développé une direction artistique et travaillé sur des concepts créatifs pour des designers, recevant des commandes d'agences publicitaires comme Ogilvy et de magazines tels que Harper's Bazaar, avec de nombreuses libertés créatives (carte blanche). Il collabore avec des architectes d'intérieur, des architectes et des groupes hôteliers pour créer des œuvres originales, dont certaines ont été nominées et primées.
Projets humanitaires et caritatifs
Engagé en faveur d’une société meilleure, il apporte son soutien à des associations, organisations et fondations. Il a notamment participé à l’exposition collective et à la vente aux enchères organisées par Photo Art Asia Magazine pour récolter des fonds en faveur des enfants orphelins porteurs du VIH en Thaïlande.

Inspirations nomades, au gré de ses road trips et shootings clients entre Londres, Tokyo, Reykjavik et Los Angeles, Ludovic capte l’essence de sujets variés :
La fixation temporelle des néons au Neon Museum de Las Vegas
Des inconnus devant les fresques urbaines de Miami
De nouvelles collections seront bientôt présente en ligne dont une série de portraits de statues gréco-romaines capturées entre le Metropolitan Museum de New York et le Louvre ainsi qu’une série sur les paysages hallucinant d’Islande.
Projet artistique hors normes
Carte blanche à 30 designers et créateurs
En collaboration avec 40 modèles, maquilleurs, coiffeurs et assistants, Ludovic a imaginé un univers mêlant « clientèle » et « personnel » dans un hôtel intemporel et surréel. Ce projet, réalisé sur 6 jours dans un château de la région parisienne, explore les frontières entre réalité et fiction à travers des mises en scène photographiques théâtralisées.
