Jeanne de Mercey

Born and raised in France, I have studied economics in Germany and started my professional life in Marketing. I moved in 2005 to San Francisco, California. There, I decided to explore the creative side of my brain. I got a degree in Fashion Design and have then passionately worked for fashion companies designing clothes, webpages and eventually started taking pictures. Back in Munich in 2016 with my husband and my three kids, I currently work as a freelance graphic designer and at the same time taking enthusiastically my first steps as an editorial, commercial and art photographer.

    «Movement in Stillness» Usually when I take pictures, playing with light, lines and colours are the ingredients I love to mix to achieve subtile composition and impactful storytelling. In this series, I tried to capture precisely the pivot point between life and immobility in order to create a flow both inherently in each photograph, and as a whole. It is about a conversation between motion and calmness using the composition lines as a balance. «Photography is an irresistible need to share the joy that came to you through your eyes.» (Robert Doisneau) I am a mom above all else. My three energetic and joyful kids are my very first source of energy and inspiration. They probably cover 90 % of my 2TB hard drive files! What I enjoy the most is capturing their smile and genuine moments, although "calmness" here may not be the best way to describe the shots!
