About Me
Hi! My name is Capucine (a fiery-coloured flower native from the Andes). I am a documentary photographer and filmmaker.
Through my projects I tell stories about freedom, diversity, womanhood, creative expression and reconnection with the natural world.
Experience
Besides my personal artistic and documentary projects, I have worked as a photojournalist for magazines and newspapers, and as an events photographer for various companies, cultural institutions or non-profit organizations. I photograph important family events: weddings, maternity, baptisms.
Background
I studied communication and journalism at IHECS in Brussels, Belgium, before specializing in photojournalism and visual storytelling at the Danish school of Media and Journalism (DMJX). I also followed a course in filmmaking from Raindance cinema school in Brussels.
Approach
My approach could be described as slow and immersive. I like to observe, ask questions, and live with the people whose life I document, carrying out my projects over long periods of time.
One of my passions is analogue (film) photography. It is a much slower, artistic and delicate process.
I like to look for the poetry of things, within and beyond the visual aspects - in connections, raw emotions, and states of mind.
