Babette, aka Babette Pautier, is a young and talented emerging photographer born in France and based in London. A graduate of the Arts Deco school in Paris, she has already published her work in several magazines such as Double and Intersection.
While there are many photographers out there who position their work on the thin border between fashion and art, few do it with a talent that equals Babette’s.
Her style mixes elegantly the glamourous with the painterly, ranging from neon-pop flashiness to dreamlike shadowy portraits with a distinctive film still quality. Portraits aside, her pictures of urban sceneries and eerie landscapes all bear the mark of a vision steeped as much in gothic horror as in innocent daydreaming.
Oh, and did we mention, even her website is uber cool and she’s designed it herself with little outside help. Check it out for your selves.
