When I woke up on April 4th, the snow had fallen in plain for the first time since last year.
The layer of snow was not thick and it become a race against the clock to realize a photo somewhat offbeat, I had in my head since one year: to make an atypical self portrait on a funny inflatable pool toy, surrounded by the snow.
It has been tough to find a rubber ring at this period of the year, but after relentless researches, I found a very funny one: an inflatable pool duck.
Here I am, floating on my ducky, in water at 7°C, enjoying the first and at least the last snow of 2019.

Biography
I am is a French artist, painter and self-taught photographer.
I am an award-winning and globally exhibited aerial photographer.
My ambitions are:
- To reveal the world from another perspective: the aerial view, pushing the boundaries between photography and painting to offer a truly unique perspective. With aerial photography, she adds an extra dimension, a degree of confusion which offers incredible views, the "wow factor".
- To be witness of her time, to take reality by surprise, to anticipate events with news pictures, to inform the public and to raise awareness, with ethics.
