CATHERINE BAILLY-CAZENAVE
Photography

 

Catherine Bailly-Cazenave is a French photographer based in Paris. Her work explores suspended moments, silent places, and colors that, by themselves, evoke an atmosphere. Influenced by cinema, art history, and the spirit of travel, she creates images with minimalist composition, infused by soft light, geometry, and nostalgia.

 

Her series focus on contemporary architecture, urban landscapes, fragments of transforming places, and discreet scenes where the human figure become a graphic element. Color, often pastel, plays a central role in her photography, contributing to the storytelling as much as the subject itself.

​

With an academic background at the École du Louvre, her vision is shaped by artistic and visual references. After a career in advertising and communications, she decided to devote herself to photography. Her approach is intuitive, minimalist, sometimes documentary, and always guided by emotion.

​

Fascinated by the United States, a land of contrasts and vastness, she enjoys photographing silent, timeless places, deserted motels, forgotten gas stations, empty parking lots or fragments of nature.she strives to capture the atmosphere of these spaces, sometimes inhabited, often shaped by a quiet sense of waiting.

Her work is guided by a principle she has always embraced : Less is More.

​

Catherine Bailly-Cazenave's photographs have been exhibited in France and abroad (Paris, Saint-Tropez, Kobe, New-York) and featured in several publications such as L'Oeil de la Photography, OpenEye Magazine, and ADFPHOTO.
