Today we’d like to introduce you to Brigitte Pollio.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started? From a very young age, I felt drawn to photography. It was as if every unique moment, every emotion, every landscape, and every face needed to be captured through my lens. As I grew, I nurtured this passion, honing my technique and learning to express myself through the images I captured.
Each shot was a journey: a journey into the heart of human emotions, a journey through the beauty of nature, a journey in pursuit of technical perfection. And as I matured, so did my passion for photography, becoming an essential part of who I am.
Today, looking back, I can say with gratitude that I am exactly where I want to be. I live the life I have always dreamed of, and my work is the perfect reflection of what I love to do. Photography is no longer just a passion but has become my profession, my way of communicating with the world, my means of capturing and sharing the beauty that surrounds me.
And so, as I look through the lens of my camera, I know I am in the right place, at the right time. Every shot is an opportunity to create something magical, to freeze a moment in time and turn it into an indelible memory. And there is no greater feeling than knowing you are living the life of your dreams, fully embracing your passion, and turning it into reality.
For me, photography is not just a job but a calling. It is my way of contributing to the world, leaving a mark, and creating a lasting impact through visual art. Therefore, my mission is to use my passion and skills to make a difference by telling stories that matter and deserve to be seen and remembered.
Brigitte , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No, my path to becoming a photographer hasn’t been without obstacles. Like in any creative and professional journey, I’ve encountered several challenges along the way. One of the main difficulties has been the competition in the field of photography. Being a highly sought-after field, it’s often challenging to stand out and get noticed among the multitude of talented photographers. I’ve had to work hard to improve my skills, develop a distinctive style, and find original ways to distinguish myself from the crowd.
Additionally, there’s been the challenge of finding job opportunities and clients. Especially early in my career, I’ve faced periods of uncertainty and financial instability while trying to build a clientele and establish a reputation in the industry. Technology is another area that has presented challenges. With the advent of digital cameras and the proliferation of social media, the photography landscape is constantly evolving. I’ve had to adapt and learn to use new tools and platforms to promote my work and stay relevant in the field.
Lastly, there have been moments of self-doubt and frustration, where I’ve wondered if my passion for photography was truly worth it. However, I’ve managed to overcome these challenges by maintaining determination, resilience, and confidence in my creative vision. Despite the difficulties encountered along the way, each challenge has contributed to my growth as a photographer and as an individual, making my professional achievement even more rewarding.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My professional journey has predominantly revolved around eCommerce photography, where I’ve become known worldwide. I’ve collaborated with international brands, contributing to the creation of images that enhance their products and attract online customers. This experience has allowed me to refine my technical and creative skills, establishing myself as an expert in the field.
Recently, I’ve ventured into the world of video, which has brought me great satisfaction. Working with video enables me to explore new forms of visual storytelling and offer my clients a more comprehensive and dynamic service. Despite my success in eCommerce photography and video, my first love remains fashion show photography. It’s where I began as a photographer and is an aspect of my career that I am particularly proud of.
I’ve had the opportunity to capture the most exciting and glamorous moments of fashion shows for major international publications, immortalizing the latest trends and creations of renowned designers. This experience has shaped my aesthetic sensibility and my ability to capture the essence and spirit of the fashion industry.
In conclusion, my professional journey encompasses various facets of photography and video, but it’s the passion for fashion and the pursuit of beauty that continue to drive and inspire my work every day.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
