"I
am a 25 year old french girl.
I always have been creative, or at
least lived with my head on the moon.
I did not know what to do with
that, so I studied philosophy before finding my way in visual
communication, and finally embraced the world of photography.
I
love video games, even though I do not have enough free time to finish
them.
I love cinema and watch a lot of anime/manga.
Otherwise I enjoy
reading, to feed my curious mind. "
"I
shoot in digital, my favorite for the moment is an Olympus OMD EM1,
small but powerful. Really useful for when I shoot in secret or want
to be discrete,
in places like churches for example, and easy to
travel with."
"I
photograph because I need to communicate, it is as simple as that.
With photography I can “catch” my emotions
and make a place for
my unconscious in the material world.
When I photograph I exist
entirely, what is underneath is visible. "
"Portraits
are the more suitable receptacle for my visions and emotions.
This
is what allows me to have a relationship with others,
translate an
emotion into a human body, to make it more accessible.
There
is also something feminine, I have a particular connection with
women.
I
love making them talk, by walking away as far as possible from
the
idea of the “woman as an object”.
I
want us to find their emotions beautiful, in a short way,
I want
people wanted to know more about what is happening inside. "
"Conceptually
I am driven by the mystery of my own existence,
I also found
inspiration/answers in Carl Jung’s ideas, and human sciences
books.
From
a technical point of view I am a little more versatile.
I admire the
work of Faber Franco,
I am clearly inspired by his work with colors
and contrast.
The High fashion look and dark style of Elizaveta
Porodina, the twisted work of Evelyn Bencicova, the cinematography of the movie Leon.
I want to maintain the cinematic aspect of my photography. "
"I always played a little with a camera before,
but things started to became serious when I discovered
that it was an easier way to materialize my universe. "
