My soul is an easel, and I am an artist This series of works will be interpreted for everyone in their own way.

What could be simpler and, at the same time, what could be more difficult – a still life. How do I convey what I feel about trivial things? I took…

La Danse des Lumières My photographic series is entitled “La danse des Lumières” because I use lightpainting as my main technique to portray my subjects.

In those 20” in complete absence of light I love to use my…

And others were simply left on the street because their families couldn’t provide for them. I was fortunate enough to be invited…

Encapsulating ten years of photography, Acedia, Louise Desnos’ first book, is a poetic tribute to idleness.  Available from Witty Books.
