Sabine Jaccard

Shadow and movement silver gelatin photography

  

Captures of "decisive moments" which often make our world look beautiful,

sensitive and joyful.

 

An eye for detail, light and composition to offer a humanist and urban outlook.

 

 

Born in Paris in 1971, Sabine took her first photos as she traveled extensively in her childhood. During English literature studies at Oxford, Paris and London, she also attended training courses with professional photographers.

 

In 2000, she participated in the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie in Arles (France), with Martine Franck, famous documentary and portrait photographer and spouse of Henri Cartier-Bresson, as a mentor. Pierrot Men, great Malagasy photographer, is another precious friendship and important influence on Sabine's photography.

 

Fascinated by the intense light, Sabine became interested in the aesthetic possibilities of shadows.

 

Exhibited in Paris, France and abroad, Sabine set out on trips to New York, London, St Petersburg, Rome, Cuba and Washington, DC in 2015 in order to continue her artistic photo reports.

 

Sabine Jaccard presents her photography in the book théâtre d'eauwater theater.

You will see inside a poetic invitation to travel with compositions of contrast and light which Sabine renders sublime.

She uses water the principal element of all her pictures, the founding and component element of life, that can transform itself from one scene to another to take every shape, every expression, every feminine qualities.
