Born on a boat in the middle of the Baltic Sea, Pierre d'Alancaisez grew up in Poland, France, and the UK. He studied at the University of Oxford and Central Saint Martins. He started working with photography contributing to editorial material to lifestyle magazines, and working as an art editor. He now works and lives in London.

d'Alancaisez's work deals mostly with concepts of photography and film functioning as languages and means of communication. In the works he creates, he often examines the photographic image not on the level of its narrative context, but by analysing the conventional markers of the picture.
