TITLE: Welcoming the rain

A sudden downpour at the Louvre turned a planned photoshoot into a moment of pure, unscripted freedom. Instead of seeking cover, Maria embraced the elements. This image captures that fleeting second of welcoming the rain, where the architecture of Paris fades behind a spontaneous celebration of life.

AUTHOR: Anaïs Mahieux (France)

Passionate about photography for several years, I began behind the lens by capturing the beauty of nature and landscapes.

Over time, my gaze turned towards humans, and I tend to specialize in portraiture.
I particularly like photographing children, capturing their spontaneity and authenticity in natural moments of life.

Nature remains an essential source of inspiration in my work ; I like to integrate it into my portraits to create images full of softness and emotion.

Natural light plays a key role in my compositions. It allows me to explore a wide range of moods, from warm and bright atmospheres to darker and more mystical universes.
