Isabelle Waternaux has a unique place in French photography, this is how she describes herself:
“An architect by trade, self-taught, I immersed myself into different environments. First boxing, training in the gym, and competitions. Then bull fighting, a fascination with these men, artists of danger. Then finally, dance, photographing dancers and choreographers. For me, life takes meaning from immersion in beauty. What makes me unique is my individuality, I am not part of any photographic “trend”, my work on bodies is not based on traditional nude research.
I am in perpetual movement, both literally and metaphorically, in my pictorial obsession with flesh, death, tragedy and beauty, the eternal and the ephemeral. Questions we are all confronted with…”
