DESCRIPTION
It's a self portrait. AUTHOR
Jennifer Orhélys has always been attracted to the world of art, writing, poetry, music and fashion. With a shy nature the dreamy little girl looks and observes the world around her.This forms her fascination for the art of the self-portrait that will guide her into photography a few years later. A discipline which she truly began to practice as part of its Art studies at the prestigious Sorbonne in Paris, where she studies currently l'Esthétique du Cinéma.
Initially she wanted to be a researcher in biology, but this burning passion for art pushed her to leave her region and discover a real passion in screenwriting and image analysis in Cinema in the Nanterre University. The following year she decided to give substance to her world view by focusing on photography, an artistic expression in which she seems to fully develop.
Back in her hometown, she pursued her studies at the Beaux Arts and the practice of intensive painting for four years. It was in 2007 that she decided to indulge in her favourite medium, photography.
In her self-portraits, Orhélys shares her world full of magic appearance. By using her own face in dozens of productions, her portfolio gives us over a thousand different women whose forthcoming, filled with poetry, take us very far in sharing with us her bucolic world, dreamlike and sensitive.
The Award winning young French photographer has exhibited in many art galleries around the world. By becoming both her own muse and the protagonist of a fascinating world, her images have also conquered the fashion world with many publications in prestigious magazines as well as participating in numerous festivals and international events.
