WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS
For International Women’s Day, YellowKorner presents a selection of female photographers, each with her own artistic vision. These strong and creative women capture their targets (whether it be wildlife /, the world of fashion, or the urbane universe) with a feminine, committed, and sensual eye.
NOLWENN HADET
ANIMAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Nolwenn Hadet has never left her native Brittany except for the sensational expeditions she takes to the furthest reaches of the world. Born in 1973 in Morbihan, she has been passionate about photography since childhood.
Her photos are inseparable from her travels; from the vast plains of Botswana to the frozen surfaces of the Arctic ice floe, the planet is truly her playing field.
These animal photographs present a tender and joking vision of polar bears, the main victims of melting ice caps due to global warming.

MARIE LAURE VAREILLES
SOCIALLY COMMITTED PHOTOGRAPHER
Marie-Laure Vareilles has photographed people around the world for thirty years. Today, she uses this body of photographs to creates surprising montages. Her goal is for “each montage to become a story that anyone can make his or her own and use to tell his or her own story”, with the ever-present desire to feature men and women of all origins and to question “the uniformity of culture and thinking in the world”.
