Bio

For a long time, Amélie Debray had a journalistic approach to photography, culminating in winning two photo-journalism awards in 2004 and 2008.

Today, she favours a more personal approach, free of the restraints of journalism.
With this approach she puts the human being at the core of her focus and has found that the scope of her work has widened in the investigative context.

While contextualisation is predominant in her approach she has not neglected the identified space (Home of the Arts of Créteil) and her works have been equally notable in an ultra modern exhibition space and in a Renaissance chapel.

From Saumur, where she worked as a resident photographer at the Rencontres Photographiques in 2008, to Southern Africa, where she was plunged in the midst of amateur football with an eye on the next World Cup, she captures the detail of expression and anonymous bodies while revealing the intimacy of the feet of famous personalities at the same time.
