This wonderful portrait is part of a series of a young woman who takes a shower and this is her just after. There is an immediacy and honesty in her face which shows that she has not had time to become self conscious as a subject might do when posing. I particularly like this powerful image because it seemingly has not been directed or managed in any way by the photographer. The lighting looks simple and with her hair untouched and still dripping, she looks straight into the lens at the viewer.

Biography
I'm a portrait photographer from Gabon, now based in Paris France since 2004. after a master's degree in computational linguistics at Paris Sorbonne IV, and a short career as a linguist, I accepted to have a mind more turned to artistic expression.
I decided to start as an independent photographer in 2016.
Reflecting on the experience and value of human condition is one of my biggest motivations. I also want to celebrate beauty in all its forms...I've been interested by art and wanted to be an artist since I was a child, and I think picture are more powerful than words in our days.
