CAPTURING SMALL AND BIG MOMENTS IN STUNNING STYLE

I'm Sandy and I'm Franco-Mauritian. I lived in Mauritius until the age of 15 then I spent 2 years in Reunion. I then arrived in Bordeaux with my family where I studied fashion design, spent a few years in the Basque Country and then arrived in Lorraine in 2011. I can already see you saying to me "but aren't you too cold in the Grand-Est?", the answer is "Yes"! I miss the heat, I miss my island, I didn't intend to stay here forever, but love made me stay. Beyond a rather introverted and solitary nature, I love people, their uniqueness and the bonds that unite them. So I photograph my surroundings a lot and that's what made me want to go further to become a professional photographer.
