I like to photograph only people. All people, famous, beautiful, the very simple too.
People who have an out of common feature.
Je n’aime photographier que les gens. Tous les gens, les célèbres, les magnifiques, les très simples aussi.
Les gens qui ont une particularité hors du commun.
I like to be close to them to the nearest point, almost to feel their breath, listen to them, watch them in fragments, and then let the meeting take place.
J’aime m’approcher d’eux au plus près, presque jusqu’à sentir leur souffle, les écouter, les regarder par fragments et, de là laisser la rencontre se faire.
To make the picture that will be the true picture of this moment of their lives, I must hear if they will need that I am highly directive, very specific in my requests and my instructions or if instead they want to evolve the most freely as possible.
In one case as in the other I am totally available to capture them, to accompany them.
Pour faire le portrait qui sera le portrait juste de ce moment-là de leur vie, je dois entendre s’ils auront besoin que je sois très directive, très précise dans mes demandes et mes instructions ou si, au contraire ils voudront évoluer le plus librement possible.
Dans un cas comme dans l’autre je serai totalement disponible pour les capter, les accompagner.
I came to photography in my adolescence because I was in love with a boy and I could not tell him.
I borrowed a camera and pretending to shoot my friends from high school, I could bring home treasured images of him. I have not told the coils in the lab of the neighborhood and I broke my piggy bank to buy a development chamber and a small magnifier. That's how I entered in the dark and the light.
Je suis venue à la photographie dans mon adolescence parce que j’étais amoureuse d’un garçon et que je n’arrivais pas à le lui dire.
J’ai emprunté un appareil et, sous prétexte de photographier les copains du lycée, j’ai pu rapporter chez moi précieusement des images de lui. Je n’ai pas confié les bobines au labo du quartier et j’ai cassé ma tirelire pour m’acheter une cuve de développement et un petit agrandisseur. C’est comme ça que je suis entrée dans le noir et la lumière.
20 years later I still have the same stage fright, the same apprehension, the same great excitement and even fun to do and discover images.
I trained on the job while working.
For Liberation in a B & W reports, then as assistant to a photographer ad car for technical achievements, and then Starfix and Première I started a real job with portraits of actors and actresses.
In 85, after the photos of the film Beneix 37.2 °, I joined the Sygma agency where I worked in happiness with Monique Kouznetzof until 98.
20 ans plus tard j’ai toujours le même trac, la même appréhension, la même immense excitation et le même plaisir à faire et découvrir des images.
Je me suis formée sur le tas en travaillant.
Pour Libération en reportages N & B, puis comme assistante d’un photographe de pub de voitures pour les acquis techniques , puis à Starfix et à Première où j’ai commencé un vrai travail de portraits avec des acteurs et des actrices.
En 85, après avoir fait les photos du film 37,2° de Beneix, je suis entrée à l’agence Sygma où j’ai travaillé dans le bonheur avec Monique Kouznetzof jusqu’en 98.
