Le Comédien (The Actor)
Photography is one of my passions that I developed since childhood. Timid at first - starting off as a young girl playing with a compact camera, improvising my first “photoshoots” in middle and high school - this sprouting love finally blossomed years later with one pivotal encounter.
I added to this instinctive love I had for photography, the technical knowledge taught to me by my boyfriend (of now 5+ years) and mentor, Greg, a photographer himself for many years.
Since then, I’ve managed to grow a very personal style by following my instinct, and I’ve put out to the world dreamlike series, between portraits and abstracts, oscillating between impactful black and white, and caressing to bold colors. I rarely and barely plan out my series: when inspiration hits, I let it guide me.
I’m very motivated by mankind and what it has to offer, and I adapt to each of my subjects’ identities, without forcing anyone into a box they don’t fit in. I’m always open to new photographic experiences and the discovery of the discipline’s different aspects feeds everyday my perseverance and my ambition.

entry description
I did a photoshoot with my actor friend Alexandre Dulac during which the whole idea was to let him move around freely without trying to pose. Since we are great friends, we had a good laugh and he was very comfortable experimenting. I snapped this picture while he was mid playing with his sweater. The candid nature of this photo gives it a special place in my heart and in my portfolio as I view it as an hommage to both Alexandre and I's inner children, an ode to the artists within us. My art often comes from pain and it feels refreshing and new to have an image that speaks volumes to me while being lighthearted and fun.about the photographer
I was born in 1996 in the city of Montpellier, in Southern France. At 26 years old, I’ve been a professional photographer since 2019-2020, but passionate for forever. All around artist with multiple skills and a voracious curiosity, in 2017 I’ve also joined the wonderful world of cabaret, in all the artistic diversity it has to offer. So many aspects of my creativity which transcends from one discipline to the other and lets me express my artistic flow in many different ways.Photography is one of my passions that I developed since childhood.
