She cultivates a taste for the otherworldly. She is curious about people. With her camera slung over her shoulder and her eyes on the lookout, Florence Gautier loves the aestheticism of this world where the weather is not always good. Black and white, colour, her images are like pages with an open heart. They tell of the magic of an encounter, of man as he is, outside and inside.

The quest of this self-taught photographer will never cease, will never know borders. India, Benin, Indonesia, South Africa, La Rochelle... Exposing humanity to make us experience its emotions as closely as possible. Here and elsewhere.
