Hello,
Overwhelmed by overwhelming emotions since I was little, I decided one day to make something beautiful out of them. That was 20 years ago. Photography fell on me in the dark, I began to see more clearly and for the first time I stopped being ashamed of my fragility, my sensitivity, my dark thoughts too and I used them to create, I began to express myself through my images and I absolutely broke all my comfort zones. These emotions have built my photography over the years and this photography has made me who I am today, a free, independent and inspired woman/photographer.
Photography is every day, all the time, everywhere, with all those who wish to be told in real life, those who cross my path and offer my light their trust, their intimacy, a fragment of their story. A source of infinite inspiration, delivered without restraint.
From this love for film photography from my beginnings, I have kept the love of contrasting and natural lights and the love of grain on the image too. Each story is in my eyes a renewal in which I never tire of first posing a look, then an idea and finally a light. A light that will be captured in the moment by a mastered shot, which will then be sublimated by careful and personal editing.
Each photo, carried by timelessness and poetry, is made with all that I can put into it from my heart, in all sincerity, in all discretion when it is necessary, in the respect of the moment, it sublimates and revives the memories it is imagined at the moment as the moment.
Each session is an encounter. My photos won’t be what they are without the human element. I’m not interested in being one among many; I want to be me, the one you want to fully entrust your story to with complete confidence. And entrusting your story to me isn’t just about entrusting it to a look; it’s also about entrusting it to an ear, a heart, and often a shoulder. Be sure to be surrounded, listened to, so that it can be better told.
