About me:
I'm a freelance graphist and full time mama.
I have two hearts, two cultures, two countries (France/USA), not easy to manage everything but I do my best-)

Ah, we've just created with some friends a micro magazine, come and join us:
hardblogcafe.com/

About photography:
I've been starting seriously in January 2007. As many people I 've learnt on my own and finally I've started to "play" with photoshop exactly the same time I bought my account on flickr in February 2007.
Since, I've learnt many other photo editing softwares .

I also exposed during few months some of my pictures, in the district of La Butte aux Cailles in Paris.

ABOUT MY WORK:

I don't have a personal style, I just like ALL the styles in photography. I'm hungry to learn more and more techniques and for this reason I like experimentation and diversity.
My work is intuitive and independent. Also, I do like imperfections in photography as Low-Fidelity.

I also work in music.
Every soundtrack I link with a picture gave me some inspiration during its treatment phase.

MY EQUIPMENT:

NEW toy in my bag, the Canon AE-1 !-))

I also work with a Nikon D700 and my precious Bronica SQA alias "Le Cube",Nikon D300, polaroid land, Olympus 35RC, Minox 35GT, Pentax MX, Holga...and other toys/low-fi cameras.

Lens: Nikon 50mm 1.4D; Nikon 28mm 2.8D; Nikon 85mm 1.8D; 24mm 2.8, Nikkor micro 55mm 3.5; Few vintage M42 50mm 1.8 & 1.4; Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 AT-X Pro; Flash SB 600.

    "Comme définir le style de Lili, difficile, il est éclectique et en constante modification pour notre plaisir. C’est une passionnée de la photographie qui progresse à la vitesse de la lumière dans la maîtrise de son art et de traitement de ce dernier.

    Mais avant tout, Lili c’est un œil qui va chercher le meilleur cadrage parfois dans les positions les plus saugrenues.

    Continue de nous émouvoir Lili !

    What is Lili’s style? Difficult to say, it is eclectic and in constant
    change for our pleasure. She is a passionate of photography which
    is progressing at the speed of light in the control of her art and treatment.

    But above all, Lili is an Eye that will look for the best shoot sometimes in weirdest
    positions.

    Keep to bring us more emotion by your art Lili!"

    "Incredible, artistic and very perfectionist!!! That’s what this photostream tells about the photographer :- )

    Lili’s work is completely adorable; she is one of those, who always like to think out of the box… in order to bring new ideas into reality … such people keep enhancing their work until it becomes perfect by all means.

    I congratulate her on assembling such a mesmerizing work on flickr, and wish her best of luck while expecting loads of masterpieces from her in the future.
