Anne-Laure Autin is an emerging fine-art photographer and mixed-media artist. Fascinated by the philosophical concepts of universality and relativism as a teenager, she studied theoretical mathematics and holds an MSc from the University of Leiden (NL). She is always inspired by contrasting juxtapositions, and embraces the duality of her search for truth and her love of human nature, where no logic is apparent. In her staged work, she seeks out the deepest, most candid and raw emotions from her subjects. Her sets are disarmingly simple so that the viewer senses true human connection. In reconciling authenticity and beauty, she makes conceptual work that is both soulful and highly intimate.
Autin’s work has been exhibited internationally, in the USA at the Corden Potts gallery in San Francisco, at the Center for Fine Arts Photography in Colorado, Soho Photo gallery, as well as in Canada, in the UK at the Brighton Photo Fringe, and at the Berlin Foto Biennale. Her images have been featured on LensCulture, Musée Magazine, L’ Oeil de la Photographie and Don’t Take Pictures. She was a Critical Mass finalist in 2016 as well as a BPF OPEN16 Solo finalist.
Anne-Laure was born and raised in France and moved to the Netherlands when she was 13. She recently returned from a six year relocation in Western Canada with her British family and is based in the Netherlands again.
The trapped feeling that follows a migraine can be terrifying—this series explores the sensation of being “locked-in” at those moments when one’s mind and body are no longer communicating.
