Ilkeys - Creator of emotions and memories

1. Hello! tell me about yourself and your background.

Hello ! My name is Justine Normand and I am 23 years old. I am currently a photographer specializing in weddings and portraiture, and I keep a second activity alongside web design. After a DUT Information Communication option Advertising I had a real interest in everything related to the web, suddenly I left for a pro web design license. Photography was just a hobby at that time but the opportunities have made it my main activity today.

2. Show us your universe, your creative touch!

I love to immortalize people, but especially love! Being able to create authentic, sensitive images by freezing emotions and highlighting the models is really something that I like.

3. What is art for you?

I would say that it is a way of illustrating and showing others our vision of the world, our interpretation of what surrounds us.

4. What is the work that has marked you the most and why?

I love Art so it's quite complicated to choose just one aha, but I admit I have a great weakness for 16th century Italian painting. The colors are so inspiring it's beautiful to look at. Antiquity is also a period that inspires me a lot, in painting as in sculpture.

5. What is your support or tool for working? tell me a bit about him.

To photograph I am always with my faithful companion, the Nikon d750. I am fully satisfied, it accompanies me everywhere for a little over a year. For optics, I always use the fixed focal length from sigma, the 35mm 1.4 from the ART range. I admit that it is a little gem, although currently I feel the need to have a zoom, especially for photo reports. Besides, I also do a little film, I have a few cameras that accompany me on my photo shoots. For the edit part, I have my macbook pro and that's all!

6. What would you like people who read this article to discover (software/site/exhibition)?

This virtual tour: https://fondation-monet.com/visite-virtuelle/ clearly a huge crush on the colors and decoration, it's super inspiring and then it's busy in this period of confinement aha!

7. When you create, what do you listen to?

Aha, I might sound crazy but I love listening to dubstep! Retouching and headbang go pretty well together and it's quite motivating lol (some will think I'm crazy). If not progressive, Alesso does me a lot of good and it puts me in a good mood to create.

8. Who would you like us to introduce next?

There are so many talents it's hard to choose! But why not a painter, designer or tattoo artist can be super nice :)
