Céline Frers
Bio
Céline was born in Buenos Aires in 1982. She lived her childhood on the family farm. This had a strong impact on her and would later determine the predominant theme of her work.
She studied cinematography at the Universidad del Cine and photography at the New York Institute of Photography. She travelled around the world carrying out job assignments in Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
Upon her return to Argentina, she resumed her work in cinematography until she published her first book, Colores de Corrientes. From then on she has focused entirely on still photography. Later came the books: Cielos Patagonicos, Tierra de Gauchos, Patagonia Sur, Tierra Adentro, Argentina and Sentir Areco.
Céline has held exhibitions in Europe, United States, and Latin America. She has been awarded Outstanding Personality of the Arts by Buenos Aires City.
Her projects currently include traveling to the most secluded places to gather material for her upcoming books and Fine Art Photography collection.
Statement
"The allure of the wilderness and adventure took me, almost unconsciously, to choose a profession which has led me into the heart of many wild and secret places. I seek for the beauty of nature and culture; trying to convey in my photos those given moments when nature seems to explode and everything takes on a new meaning."
