Shades of salt (Series)
DESCRIPTION
At the approach of the equinox, the salt worker (the guide of the waters) of the Salin de Gruissan empties one by one the tables, to collect the crystals of salt.
This drying makes visible the salt layer.
Then comes the moment of "mechanical harvesting", for industrial salt. A tractor will break the salt layer, giving birth to different shades of colors, blooming with the Dunaliella salina, a seaweed rich in beta-carotene.
More than 15,000 tons of salt will be harvested in a few weeks.

AUTHOR
Artist painter and self-taught photographer.
My ambitions are:
- To reveal the world from another perspective: the aerial view, pushing the boundaries between photography and painting to offer a truly unique perspective. With aerial photography, she adds an extra dimension, a degree of confusion which offers incredible views, the "wow factor".
- To be witness of her time, to take reality by surprise, to anticipate events with news pictures, to inform the public and to raise awareness, with ethics.
