Phototherapy
About Me
Since my childhood, I have harboured a love for observing and understanding others. This inclination quickly led me towards photography and the study of psychology.
For many years now, I have created photo sessions that blend my passion for humanity with that of photography, colors, and beauty.
In my work and in my life, the stories of men and women critiquing and rejecting their own bodies, filled with shame, have always deeply touched me.
A profound love and respect emanate from me towards every body, every human being, every life, every journey. These are the feelings that I strive to convey through my work.
Whether as a psychologist or a photographer, my life’s mission remains unchanged: to help each individual reconnect with themselves, to feel and embrace their uniqueness, by cultivating unconditional love, an achievable perspective for us all.
This photoshoot offers a remarkable opportunity to celebrate who you are and your relationship with your body. It is a moment and a space entirely dedicated to self-love, to the compassionate embrace of what deserves to be brought to light and felt.
In a society that instinctively pushes us to judge and reject certain aspects of our image and personality, it is important to remember that we are nature. As we grow up in a world that imposes beauty standards, we lose the ability to expand our vision of what is beautiful, in others as well as in ourselves. The essence of this endeavour is to create integration, a radical embrace of all the elements that make us.

“I received a beautiful photoshoot with Bénédicte. I needed professional, natural, and feminine photos for my business. I generally feel uncomfortable and nervous in front of a camera. But Bénédicte was amazing! She started our session with meditation and gave me all the time I needed to relax and come back to myself. She provided gentle guidance and comforted me with her words throughout the photoshoot. She moved delicately around me; Bénédicte took the time to truly listen and understand my needs, and she captured them perfectly. Even better than I had imagined myself. But the real gift I received from Bénédicte is more love and appreciation for my body. She took such beautiful photos of me that I couldn’t help but see my own beauty! Thank you for this gift.”
