I invite you to discover here snapshots of an urban stroll. Driven by a desire to alter everyday life and redefine our vision of reality, I explore stark contrasts that highlight the lines and shapes that structure each image. Thus, the city reveals itself through a prism enriched by vivid colors and a highly pictorial treatment bordering on comic book art.Presented on plain, flashy backgrounds and incorporating a combination of positive and negative, I wanted these photographs to merge urban reality with contemporary aesthetics, creating an immersive and graphic visual experience.
Valerie Chauffour is a French photographer based in Paris. She first got a business school degree and then became an airline pilot. Over the years Photography came to occupy a major place in her life. In 2015, she decided to fully devote herself to it and resigned from her pilot career to become a professional photographer. Her photography practice is oriented towards documentary/travel and fine art. She still gets her inspiration from her travels, connecting with other cultures and questioning the place of human beings in their environment. She is very concerned about environmental issues.
