Originally from France, Sandrine Hermand-Grisel is a self-taught freelance photographer who has been working in the United States for the past ten years. Despite the diversity of her projects she has a unique, very intimate, relationship with her subjects. Photography provides her with a way to express her feelings, like in the series "Nocturnes" where she photographed only close friends and family members peacefully abandoning themselves in front of her camera. "Somewhere…” is her dream of America, a road trip through her adopted country. And “Waterlilies" is full of joy and love for her two children as she watched them jumping and playing in pools over and over again .
Sandrine Hermand-Grisel not only photographs what she loves, she breaks free from her own reality in her poetic vision of the world.
