Finalists – Picto Fashion Photography Award 2026 : Shanna Warocquier

Shanna Warocquier is a Paris-based photographer exploring the organic connections between humans and their environment—from the cosmos to the cellular level—while examining our imprint on nature and the narratives it generates. Influenced by ecofeminism and attentive to the body, she has received the 2024 Prix Dauphine for Contemporary Art and the Groupe Caisse des Dépôts Production Grant. Her work has been presented at Paris Photo and other major venues. A finalist for the 2025 Hyères Festival and the Vogue Women by Women Prize, she was invited to the Musée du Jeu de Paume and awarded the Fondation Martell Research & Creation residency.

A Wolf in the Breast explores the desire for escape and the quest for freedom in a disintegrating world. The series stages intimate encounters with women, creating fragile, ephemeral spaces where freedom can emerge. Set among rivers, soil, and trees, every gesture leaves a trace—physical and emotional. Bodies entwined with the landscape become scars revealing both vulnerability and strength. Oscillating between staged and real, the images question the marks we leave behind and the imaginary worlds we can create, like a wolf striving to escape from our chest.
