Cécile Mella

Elene Usdin
sponsored by Stéphane Brasca / De l’Air
A graduate of ENSAD in Paris, Elene Usdin began working as a cinema set painter in 1997, then worked as an illustrator for the press and children’s publishers in France and the USA. In 2004, she began to take an interest in photography, honing her skill via self-por traiture. This work behind closed doors allowed her to tr y out different poses, staging techniques, and ways of lighting the human form. In her photographic work, inspiration arrives by chance, but the construction of the images is the result of careful thought. Preparatory drawings and ideas for staging, as well as jewellery, costumes and accessories she makes herself, all form the basis of her photographs.
