Laure Bernard

After starting her career in advertising, Laure Bernard broke away to re-engage with photography, a passion she had always had since she was offered her first camera by her father when she was 15. Her energetic and highly colourful style is inspired by her travels around the world, her love of cinema and her passion for music.

A two-year stay in Bangkok, in particular, is behind her first book of photos: "Build me up". The project was the result of a lengthy immersion in the world of boxing matches and was highly praised on release in 2010 and exhibited by Agnès b.

Laure also works in advertising and fashion, fields in which she brings images to life, like enigmatic microfictions.

She directs her models the way a filmmaker directs his actors, using the motion of their bodies and faces like a palette to offer compositions that are always beyond what is expected.

She pays a lot of attention to the soundtracks she uses to imagine her works and is also currently developing her activity as a director, working on her first short film.

What is your superpower? Even when it's raining, on my shoots, the sun always shines.
