DOOG MC HELL

The DOOG MC HELL website

Surveyor of everyday life, his camera never leaves his neck, Philippe Maquelle alias Doog Mc Hell, travels on the edge of two worlds: The real world of mortals and the imaginary magic that lives within him. And when they merge, they are the source of one and the same inspiration. Philippe is a dream catcher, a writer of images, a ferryman towards the invisible. Born in Paris, Doog Mc'Hell has been practicing photography since the age of 12. When he arrived in Marseille in 1993, he joined a professional photographic laboratory, as a printer-developer for almost 10 years. The appearance and development of digital photography, offering him unlimited creative space, he then claimed the status of artist-photographer. Influenced by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Schuiten and Moebius, his unique worlds of digital photo-montages were quickly recognized during numerous exhibitions over the past fifteen years. At the same time, Doog Mc'Hell joined an audiovisual school where he taught photography and digital image editing.
