Claude Lemand:
" Gallerist and col­lector, I was not sen­si­tive to pho­tog­raphy as a work of art, I tended to con­sider it as a par­tic­ular kind of print, too fragile, ... although I was very attracted by the his­tory of pho­tog­raphy in the 19th cen­tury and through the research of cer­tain big names of the 20th cen­tury and those of con­tem­po­rary artists, who knew how to create a real world of their own, orig­inal, like real cre­ative "artists".

Dahmane’s works, his por­traits as well as his breath­taking pho­tomon­tages, con­vinced me that I was in the pres­ence of a real artist pho­tog­ra­pher. Adept of tech­nical per­fec­tion and pos­sessed, from his ado­les­cence and his first steps in this art, by the rich and mul­tiple image of young adult women, par­tially or totally naked, pho­tographed out­side or inside, proud women to be cel­e­brated for the plastic beauty of their bodies."
