Finalists – Picto Fashion Photography Award 2026 : Karen Faurie

Driven by an insatiable love of travel, Karen Faurie develops a distinctive visual universe where light, form, and texture interact within a contemporary aesthetic. Based in Paris, she establishes herself as an image-maker with a sensitive and precise eye, defined by a rich and evocative color palette.
At the intersection of artistic photography and fashion, her work is characterized by a strong visual language and a subtle elegance. She also explores storytelling through short films, extending her universe beyond the still image. This singular approach has led to growing recognition within the creative industry.

This series explores a visual language that blends portraiture and still life to reveal the poetry of ordinary things, inviting a slower gaze and an appreciation of the simple act of being present. At its center stands a female figure—delicate, bold, and self-assured—embodying a quiet strength rooted in authenticity.
Moving away from the codes of fashion and any commercial logic, the project emerges from a free and personal gesture: to create for the sake of creating, allowing the images to speak for themselves.
