unmatin-chagab

My name is Ingrid and I was born in Auvergne, France. I have lived in Munich since 2010…A place where I feel happiest with my husband and two girls.

I received my first camera as I was 12 years old …But the real spark was in 2006… when I become a mother. My children gave me a new way to see my life, people and things around me. My gaze was becoming at the same time delicate and strong.

The light and the composition is very more important in my photographs. I try to show some melancholy, like an “happy sadness” in shapes and shadows. In my opinion black and white images are the best way to express those feelings ! A lot of photographers are inspirational to me but Vivian Maier is my reference.

I hope I could share with you some emotions…

I call this pictures “Un matin”

I have returned for my holidays which were spent in the UK. This was on of the first shots out of my camera taken in Winchester high street. I was so attracted to the two mannequins in the shop window. The way they seem to be pompously judging the shopper taking a rest on the bench outside that this shot leaped out at me.

Riding the Storm Out

This was the sky that met me as I left the beach on the bike a couple weeks ago. Even though the rain threatened (and eventually soaked me), I could not resist stopping to take the shot.

Atop the Empire State Building

Looking south to Lower Manhattan

(Scheduled post) My last aerial view of lower Manhattan was from the Top of the Rock Observation Deck on the 70th floor of the GE Building in Rockefeller Center. This view is from the 86th Floor Observation Deck of the Empire State Building. In the distance is One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower); at 6:00 is the triangular Flatiron Building, bordered by Broadway on the left and 5th Avenue on the right, with Madison Square Park (at the bottom of the frame) just a block away.

Be Amazed In The Middle Of Nowhere

Black And White Photography, Photography

We were biking all around the small isle of Noirmoutier on the west coast of France.
It was such a lovely day.
We were surrounded by nature.
The sun followed us.
And our laughter echoed in the landscape.

I hope everyone is fine and had great holidays and summer :’)
