From Normandy to Kingston, a story told in portraits and zinc.

A Journey Through Lens and Life

Born and raised in the quiet countryside of Normandy, France, I began my photography journey in Ireland, capturing the moments of my children’s early years. What started as a personal archive of motherhood soon evolved into a lifelong pursuit of human connection through the lens.

In 2015, my path led me to Jamaica — a place that reshaped my vision and rooted my practice in the heart of street photography. Immersed in the vibrant streets of Kingston, I felt the rhythm of life all around me. The camera became my passport to connection — a way to meet people, understand stories, and translate shared experiences into raw, spontaneous portraits.

I began documenting everyday life, drawn to the beauty of simplicity and the strength found in the streets. 

Portraiture is my language — Every connection begins with a question and a moment of listening before the photograph is taken. I often use a wide-angle lens to distort and amplify presence, breaking traditional rules in favour of emotional truth.

Over time, my practice expanded into mixed media. I started salvaging zinc from the streets — weathered fragments full of history — and combining them with my photography to create collectible art pieces.
