She moved to Paris when still very young, and studied at the Spéos Photography School in Paris in 1991 and at the Sorbonne, where in 1994 she obtained a degree in Geography and Urban Planning. The following year she relocated to London, where she obtained a master’s degree in Professional Photography Practice at the LCC, which enabled her to start working in 1996 as Picture Coordinator in the arts department at Vogue UK; in 1997 as Picture Editor for the Harvey Nichols magazine; and in 1998 as photographer of interiors, portraits and still life for prestigious magazines such as Vogue UK, House & Garden, Tatler, Condé Nast Traveller, Elle. The shift from commercial photography to creative photography was the inevitable outcome of the wealth of interests that encouraged her to seek new forms of expression.
