Carole Bellaïche was born in Paris in 1964. It was at the age of 13 that she began photographing girls her own age, capturing her first portraits. Her initial series caught the attention of Dominique Issermann in 1978, who encouraged her and introduced her to actors to create their portfolios. Carole Bellaïche, as a photographer, started working at the age of 17. A passionate portraitist of the cinema world, actors, actresses, and other filmmakers became her favorite subjects. Beyond commissioned work, her personal projects delve into themes of travel, exploring inspiring locations, directing staged scenes with objects or characters, and delving into intimacy.
