Biography
I have spent 20 years photographing for magazines around the world,
talking and writing about the power of visual communication,
curating and producing artistic projects towards social change,
teaching photography and the secrets of storytelling
as well as designing and binding books.
My work was featured in world renown media as well as rags,
it was shown in glamorous places as well as on scruffy walls,
my clients include wow companies as well as tiny start-ups,
I teach professional photographers in amazing locations as well as kids and families down my street.
And this is the way I like it.
I am energetic, trustworthy, demanding, creative, reliable, generous and passionate about what I do.
Experte en photographie depuis 20 ans, je suis spécialiste dans le domaine du récit photographique et du changement social par l'image. J’ai travaillé comme photographe pour la presse internationale à New York et à Paris, comme enseignante en école et en festival de photographie aux États-Unis et au Japon, comme designer de livres d’artistes et comme créatrice de projets artistiques engagés.
Mon travail a été publié en grand et en petit, dans des musées prestigieux et sur des murs décrépis, mes clients sont célèbres et inconnus, géants et minuscules, j'enseigne à des pros dans des endroits de rêve et à des enfants dans la rue.
Et c'est comme ça que j'aime mon métier.
Je suis énergique, professionnelle, exigeante, inspirée, sérieuse, généreuse et passionnée.
