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.

Barefoot kind of paradise
Phú Quốc island, last December—where light spoke in hushed tones and the sea taught me to linger. Some places don’t just pass through your viewfinder—they stay, and shape the way you see the world.

I was lucky enough to spend time photographing this one-of-a-kind hideaway just outside Marrakech: @farmhousemarrakech , the creative retreat imagined by Fred & Rosena Charmoy, the duo behind @boutiquesouk.
Once the atelier and residence of French painter Patrice Arnaud, the farmhouse has been lovingly transformed into a soulful escape — where Moroccan craft, cinematic light, and eclectic influences meet beneath fig trees and mountain skies.
A place that holds stillness and spirit in equal measure and has been selected in @condenasttraveller Hot List 2024 among the best new hotels in Africa

Sovramagnificentissimamente — the most elaborate way to say “more than magnificent.”
An Italian word borrowed from Dante, worn around my neck thanks to @bangla_begum, and maybe… a feeling I’ve been chasing lately.
May has taken me back to Marrakech — for my book project, for new encounters, for a rhythm that still knows how to surprise me. I’ve interviewed people whose stories echo far beyond a page, wandered through houses where light carves its own lines, and captured places like @farashafarmhouse that quietly rewrite the idea of retreat.
I also had the chance to photograph the luminous @sofi_modi_design and her joyful world of form and color.
There’s something about early summer that always feels like a beginning. The heat, the open windows, the feeling that something is about to unfold. I’ll take that over resolutions, any day.

Some places don’t just stay in your memory — they pull you back. Sicily and the Aeolian Islands are that kind of place. Aperitivi on painted tiles, Stromboli smoldering on the horizon, time measured in sunrises and card games. I can’t wait to return this July to that volcanic rhythm of stillness and beauty

The smiling face, the mustache perfectly echoing the falling shirt collar, the 80s sunglasses, the pastel lines… I mean?! I just ♡ that pic.
This moment, captured in Marrakech more than two decades ago (but could be yesterday) is pure joy. Don`t you want to smile back at him??
It means: mint tea isn’t just a drink.
It’s how Morocco says: stay a while,
you might belong more than you think...
