Anna Biret

Country: France 🇫🇷

I was born in Soviet Poland where I found my calling in spatial perception and geometric patterns in architecture. After finishing my studies in architecture, I moved to Paris, where I have lived ever since.

I discovered street photography in November 2018, during a workshop by Maciej Dakowicz in Myramar. It was the first spark that ignited a whole series of trips.

When I go out in the street with my camera, I have no precise idea of what I am going to photograph. A priori everything interests me, ordinary scenes, details, light, colors, shapes and especially people inspire me.

I respect people, I don't want to attack them. I don't use flash, ever. My presence is accepted, why I don't know. I adapt to the scene, trying to keep natural expressions. I do candid street photography, simplifying the chaotic mess of life with a sense of beauty, to bring out a bit of mystery. I like to capture those moments that make every moment beautiful in everyday life.
