LES COLLECTIONS DU FAUBOURG

An independent photographer since 2007, Sophie Mayeux has been managing since 2015 "Les Collections du Faubourg", a photo studio not like the others created by her husband. To understand the principle of the places, better let the photographer describe it. Here we find "photographs to collect and happiness to spread everywhere". Inspired by nature, sea and people, Sophie Mayeux favours the Summer season to take pictures. What? Pictures full of heat that invite to escape. The particularity of the photographer? The media she chooses to print her photos! Whether it's traditional polaroids in old or small squares of wood, photos become unique objects that can be touched and placed and put to envy. And there's no risk of finding these photos everywhere, since Sophie Mayeux only makes small series collections, from 15 to 30 copies. Here the photo becomes art object. In love with his region (she collaborates with local artisans for printing and woodworking), Sophie Mayeux knows her to shine her light and beauty in small series of photographs that read as stories. Hence the care it brings in the title of the drawings, like the Glaces de Glace de Leffrinckoucke… This gives you sea and sun cravings! But Sophie Mayeux is not confined to the region and wears her eye as artist everywhere! You can discover its universe at the workshop, but also on lounges such as those organised by the association «Des Filles et des Des», which bring to the credit women craftsmen! In any event, if you wish to enjoy a unique and unique gift, please go to the Faubourg du Faubourg website!
