Welcome here,
My name is Pauline Khun. I’m a French photographer.
I never really thought about photography and funnily, life had its own way to always put a camera in my hands. My partners in the past initiated me to photography. One showed me a numeric camera and then, the next one showed me a reflex camera and took me on a group photo session in Paris. I bought my first length, the 50mm f1.4 fixed focal, and it’s still my favorite length. A friend also showed me his full frame camera. I didn’t realised how precious these moments were and today, I feel very grateful to have learned from them.
And then, I walked my own path. I bought a film camera. I wanted to be more intentional about the photos I took. I wanted to memorize the moments authentically as it was and didn’t want to show it differently than it was. No scenario, no romanticizing, no more neither less than it was. A film camera was my way to avoid any attempt of making a photo “perfect” with a filter or any post process. The photo is perfect as it is with all the imperfections of a film photo.
I never considered my photo with potential or value. It was just between me and me. It took me years to my eyes to see my photos through that length. Thanks to my dear therapist.
And today, I share with you my most precious photos and life moments.
Thank you for witnessing my path.
With love, Pauline.
Ps: Why Paupiette? It’s an affectionate word that French people sometimes use to call a friend that they like very much.
