Personal Project
the Premise
Exploring the photograpfic snapshot genre in a cinematic story of summer love, meories, loss & time.
Mon amie la rose is an exploration into the authintic in a photograph, finding that if it touches you, and reminds you, it is.
Mon Amie la Rose began as a study of memory — not as something fixed, but as something softened, fragmented and rewritten over time.
Set within a Scandinavian summer, the project follows a young woman through a series of quiet, almost remembered moments. Rather than telling a literal story, the imagery moves between portrait, landscape and gesture, allowing beauty to exist alongside a subtle sense of impermanence.
A MEMORY OF SUMMER
The visual world grew from a mixture of film, painting, music and memories of Scandinavian summers — drawing on romantic portraiture, Nordic landscape and the quiet melancholy found in Françoise Hardy’s Mon amie la rose.
The references were never intended to be reproduced literally, but used to define a feeling: youth, softness, intimacy and the awareness that every summer eventually becomes a memory.
BUILDING THE WORLD
The project was built through fragments rather than scenes: flowers, skin, water, landscape, fabric and small gestures. Each element became part of the same emotional vocabulary, allowing the series to move between portraiture and something closer to a remembered film.
Imperfection
Movement, grain and small visual accidents preserve the feeling of something lived.
Landscape
Nature is not a backdrop, but part of the emotional narrative.
Intimacy
Quiet gestures, closeness and moments where the subject appears unaware of the camera.
Memory
Images should feel recalled
rather than recorded.
Mon Amie la Rose
A personal film about youth, memory and a summer already beginning to disappear.
The moving image was developed as another fragment of the same world rather than a documentation of the photographic process — allowing movement, sound and duration to extend the feeling established in the still images.
