Michèle Sainte-Beuve

The singularity of a photographic image comes from a chosen approach. That of Michèle Sainte-Beuve is intuitive, contemplative, artistic. From his emotions, his moods, his quest is born, his research. Without a favorite theme. This is the chance of meetings, a material on a site, an abandoned embankment or the rustling of a bush that starts the creation process. From these lonely wandering, these times of observation, reflection are born his images. Some will go through a long and delicate development work to reveal the final meaning it wants to obtain, even if it means removing until photographic identity. Thus, the final photographic image can echo engraving or painting. Michèle Sainte-Beuve uses all the tools available to her provided that they serve her creativity, old or digital techniques. The rule is that there are no rules. His images are simply available and only ask to be seen.
