“I only needed one day’s shooting with Myriam to realise her passion for photographing people, although it came as no surprise, having met her a couple of days earlier. She has a palpable energy when shooting and people very often warm to her. They connect, which as you can see, adds to her beautiful and heartfelt storytelling.” Keef Charles
I would like to tell you about this intense moment that I experienced thanks to Patricia Kerkhofs, Niklas Lindskog, Keef Charles, when we shot together. I wanted to photograph this beautiful old lady, I thought she didn't want me to, but then she left to take off her glasses to look at me better. She approached me, we intertwined our hands naturally, then she hugged me very tightly in her arms. I let you imagine the emotion that pierced me. Thank you to all three for taking me to this place, thank you to Keef Charles for having immortalized this magical moment.

I stopped to photograph a mechanic, a young man engrossed in his repairs. After a while, to gain his attention, I coughed, “hum hum”, he raised his face to me astonished, and we burst out laughing. It was a nice meeting.
