bain de soleil #2 "red 4" large

"Photography has always been deeply personal to me. Growing up in a tight-knit family, my home was filled with snapshots of loved ones and special places, reminding me of life’s indelible moments. My passion began at eight when my dad handed me his Nikon and taught me how to use it, sparking a lifelong love for the craft. For me, photography is about capturing the essence of a moment, preserving its warmth, and turning memories into something lasting. It is this energy and connection to nostalgia that continues to fuel my passion today."

inspired by nostalgia

"Nine years ago, my father passed away, and in an effort to preserve a deeply personal and sensory memory, I photographed his tube of Bain de Soleil. Just seeing it instantly transported me to the past —the purely visceral and olfactory experience that a single object can evoke. The iconic Orange Gelee, with its unmistakable scent and sun-kissed association, holds an emotional connection for so many. Now that the brand, and especially the beloved Orange Gelee, has been discontinued, these photographic prints serve as a lasting tribute, allowing people to reconnect with the nostalgia and memories tied to this timeless summer staple."
