Paris, Marrakech:
the story
TRAVEL, LIFESTYLE, FOOD AND PEOPLE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hello! I’m Virginie — a French lifestyle and travel photographer, born and raised in Paris, with a deep creative connection to Morocco: I lived in Marrakech for 9 years, and still go back regularly — my two children are half-Moroccan, and so is a piece of my heart.
I now work between France, Morocco… and wherever inspiring projects call.
My work blends photography, styling, and creative direction, with a special love for beautiful places and meaningful stories. I create visual content for hotels, brands, designers, and magazines — from interiors and architecture to soulful portraits and editorial-style narratives.
Beyond the lens, I often handle styling and mood creation during shoots, helping shape a cohesive visual identity. I’m also the community manager and visual storyteller for 5 star Parisian Hotel Le Ballu , where I oversee Instagram content, storytelling, and brand imagery.
I live for exploration, and believe the best projects are born through collaboration — with intention, curiosity, and a little magic!
Clients: Maison Sarah Lavoine, Hôtel Ballu ,
La Seinographe, Think Deco studio (Paris),
La Mamounia, Kasbah Bab Ourika (Marrakech)...
"I believe that our life doesn't have to look like anyone's else".
A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME
– I’m a social chameleon — not because I change who I am, but because I adapt easily to new people, cultures, and environments.
– I’m a true people person: I listen, connect, and never forget a name.
– As a travel and lifestyle photographer, I’ve learned to stay flexible, read the light, and make every detail count.
– I often wear many hats on set: photographer, stylist, art director, creative eye.
– I’m resourceful and calm under pressure — whether I’m in a medina, on a rooftop, or styling a breakfast scene at sunrise.
– I believe: if you don’t recognize your own value, the world won’t either.
– I’m in a long-term love affair with travel — and I trust my instinct to lead me where the next story lives.

September is here, yet summer still lingers in the light, on café terraces and along the riverbanks.
One of the things I love about being self-employed is that I get to acknowledge the rhythm of the season without feeling obliged to follow it. Work resumes, of course. But so do long walks, late sunsets and those little moments that make the days feel fuller.
Holding on to summer for just a little longer.

Places with soul.
Some places leave an impression long after you`ve left. Not because they`re perfect, but because they feel deeply lived in, loved and looked after.

Marrakech though my lense. A few moments collected over time; somehow, they hold things I love about this city. Marrakech has been part of my life for so long that I don`t really feel the need to explain it anymore. I simply keep looking.
