The photographer I wish to write about today is obviously very much inspired by my previous choice of photographer - Sarah Moon - but Marie Taillefer manages to remain very personal despite her references to Moon's work.
She obviously has a similar approach to the world of fashion photography, but she ventures further in the post-treatment of the image and the fragmentation of the composition.
I got to discover Marie Taillefer's work through a portrait she made for the singer/songwriter Hindi Zahra.
Finding it very special, I typed her name into Google and that was love at first sight.
Marie Taillefer has a sensual feel for colour and composition and a vibrant energy that explodes through the use of vivid colours and a very physical use of paint, cuts and collage techniques.
Her superb work is highly inspiring and moving and I urge you to visit the following works to get an idea of the magic she produces:

I would like to start a series on the photographers that really count for me...
Those who move me, inspire me and that I admire madly.
Even though you may probably know them already, I hope to trigger some new discoveries or at least incite someone to rediscover them.
For the first one, I couldn't pick anyone else than my personal ideal, the one who's able to achieve sensitivity and sponaneity, although working on big projects carefully orchestrated.
Her intimate and extremely personal vision has managed to capture me and haunt me even when I have seen some of her images only once.
There's magic in her name, and magic in her art, and she's miles away of all the shabby conceptual excuses that many modern artists use to make their work interesting.
Anyway, enoough talking, here are some links that I hope will be of interest.
First, an amazing website showcasing the works of the best photographs in the world, including obviously the work of Sarah Moon:
