Photographer Captures Cherished Moments and Eternalizes Love

I'm Marina, I was born in 1982 and I live in the South of the Landes, in the middle of the pines, with the lover Thomas and our son Isiah. 5 years ago, after the birth of my son, my man gave me my first SLR. It is from this moment that everything intensifies. I photograph my baby, my son-in-law, my friends, my family… My passion is growing, I spend hours reading, learning, getting inspired and of course shooting the great and small pleasures that surround me. After thousands of pictures of our family, of our travels, I join the Photo club Benessois to learn a little more about this area that fascinates me. One of my photos then won a 3rd place in a regional competition. I then subscribe to Empara, to follow qualitative training and I follow a workshop by Caroline Cuinet Wellings to work on light and specialize in lifestyle. It was after these five years of improvement that I decided to start professionally (in 2018), while keeping my salaried job as an architectural designer. It's a bit like my dream that I touch with my fingertips, and that I'm in the process of realizing.
