About Dreux

Dreux Denny is a New Orleans-based Super 8 videographer, 35mm film photographer, and visual artist specializing in nostalgic, cinematic storytelling through analog film. Working primarily with Super 8 motion picture film and 35mm photography, he creates timeless imagery for weddings, family sessions, concerts, portraits, short films, and creative collaborations. His work embraces the texture, warmth, and imperfections of film to preserve life’s fleeting moments with authenticity.

Originally from Lansing, Michigan, Dreux now lives in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he is focusing on building his portfolio of creative works. His long-term goals are to write and direct multiple short-films and eventually a full length film, publish a novel, and become a resident artist in an art gallery.

Alongside his visual practice, Dreux is a self-published poet whose collections include Sinciput (2022), Time Slips Away Like Falling Coins (2023), Sometimes a Memory (2024), and Dovesong (2026). He also co-creates the ongoing collaborative poetry zine World of Fog with fellow poet Jaxon Kolhoff. Beyond writing, he is an avid oil painter whose artistic practice informs the emotional tone and composition of his photography and films.

His work is heavily influenced by filmmaker Harmony Korine, artist and designer Henri Alexander Levy, the neo-expressionist paintings of Julius Nordvinter and Jean-Michel Basquiat, the photography of Dash Snow, and the writing of Charles Bukowski and Missouri Williams. These influences shape a body of work rooted in memory, intimacy, nostalgia, and the beauty found in everyday imperfection.
