Animaux marins (2006) Photography by Anne-Marie Bertin

Anne-Marie Bertin, a self-taught photographer, maintained a close relationship with photography throughout her life, even if she did not make it her main profession. Born with an innate love for visual art, she found her calling as a photographer guided by instinct and passion.

His pronounced attraction for black and white has always marked his artistic approach. A friend, himself an accomplished photographer, recognized his unique "eye", a validation that boosted his confidence in his vision. This is how gazes, gazes frozen in urban life, gradually emerged as one of his favorite themes.

The photographer's gaze on what faces contemplate and how they observe, or sometimes the absence of gaze, eyes closed in the city, have become the very material of his works. Anne-Marie Bertin has the rare ability to capture these furtive moments and share them through her photographs, thus offering viewers a new perspective on the world around them.

Over the past five years, Anne-Marie has had the chance to share some of her creations through individual and collective exhibitions. His instinctive approach, which favors the capture of the fleeting moment, allows him to convey sincere and authentic emotions through his works.

In his photographs, women occupy a predominant place. Through games of reflections and inlays, she skilfully inserts these female figures into the very fabric of the urban environment. Thus, these women are not static icons, but unique perspectives, different eyes that observe the world around them from a new angle.
