LOL PROJECT, when laughter reveals you!
“Laughter is as important as medicine!” – Dr. Tissière
The experience of “laughter together” with the LOL PROJECT establishes a relationship that allows for surprise and the unexpected.
This photographic moment triggers spontaneous reactions, promotes reciprocity in the relationship with others it awakens, and brings vibrancy and reactivity.
A photoshoot with a real experiential dimension that helps address resistance, seek self-improvement, take a step aside, and reveal unsuspected issues inherent in human relationships.
This participatory project, based on the idea of “laughter together,” has resulted in over 35,000 portraits in companies and hospitals all over France. A massive gallery of portraits aimed at bringing smiles to those who need it most. Thanks to his humanity, David Ken manages to arouse and capture that magical moment of “letting go” that benefits both the body and soul. Between humor and love, there’s only a small step, which the photographer happily takes. His photo sessions leave all participants with unforgettable memories, both for the good spirits and the encounter with a resolutely optimistic artist.
Initiated in healthcare settings, the photographer’s massive project also takes place in corporate environments, during events, especially during seminars, team building activities, as well as at corporate events and conferences.
