ABOUT ME…

I have a funny artistic background, which certainly helps when it comes to photography.

As a kid, I was obssessed by dance and painting.
It was easy to spend my hours, days, weeks wasting away in a quiet room somewhere creating a choregraphy for belly dance, drawing my future house or painting portraits of my cat .
(I won first prize of young artist painter in my city when I have 11 years)

Music:
Plays an important role in my imagination, and state of mind, my dance and todays music accompany me through the writing of my scenario.

Movie:
I directed my first movie, in Paris
“Hommage a Baudelaire”
in 16mm 3 mn, fantastic experience.
Finally I find my way to express myself, I really love each moment of creation for this movie, even the “famous nervous breakdown” after the shooting :)
My political conscient push me too direct documentaries, and my first subject was :
“Murder in prison of France”
and all form of exclusion in the country of human rights.
No television in France want to broadcast this subject
(I don’t know why)
My second subject is a portrait of the artist Nikita Hunter in New York. This documentary represents my feminist side :)

Workshops:
I teach to kids aged between 8-12 years the beauty of image. We make together short movie, video, advertising and reportage.
They teach me to be patient and I love the fresh look they have on this world.

Photography:
This is beautiful story between this art and me ! Photography is my recreation in art.
When I take picture I research to hypnotise the people!
Ok! I look arrogant to say that!
But I really love when a picture take your mind
and shut your mouth!
Just admire it and feel pure emotion …
I am primarily interested in travel pictures and portraits.
At the moment my focus is well and truly on urban culture, specially the city of Paris.
I’m interested in all genres of photography, food, portrait, architecture It’s all good!

Love:
I think we can’t be completely artist when we haven’t lived this huge and fantastic experience.
To be in love changes everything inside.
I want to see and catch the beauty around me!
Now I have to work again and again and progress!
The addition of passion and love push you to the excellence!

So, I’m based in Paris and i’am available for comission video, work, portfolio shoots, weddings, promotional gigs… Hope a futur collaboration with real artist in my city or eveywhere in the world.

Peace
Norah
