Talented French Photographer Captivates with Pop Culture-inspired Images

I started photography when I was a child with a camera given to me on a birthday. I have never stopped taking photos since! Growing up, I was first an editorial journalist. I waited until I was 40 to decide to make a living from my passion. In France, I was trained in photojournalism by CFPJ (a prestigious French school for journalism) and CE3P (another photography school). My first wedding photo report was for a friend and I loved it so much! Since then, I have experienced weddings in every season, from spring to winter. Over the past 3 years, I have agreed to accept to cover a maximum of 10 weddings per year because I am the mother of a beautiful 5 year's old girl and my family life is very important to me. This passion for family is why I am also a birth and family photographer. Passionate about pop culture, the study of photography in cinema (From Sofia Coppola to Denis Villeneuve, passing by Star Wars...) and TV shows (GOT, Handmaid's Tail...) influence me a lot. The study of light in everyday life too. I live in France in Paris, but I am really in love with Japan too (I am the author of a French tourism book which helps people to travel to Japan when they are fond of animated series, movies, and video games) My work has been exhibited at Paris in the gallery Espace Japon (photos series about Japan and Pop Culture) and in the region during the Spring arts manifestation.
