mY STORY

CREATING BY

FLORINE JEANNOT

A passionate photographer since I was 8, I specialize in humanist photography.
From the very beginning, my mission has been to bring joy, capturing the essence of people and emotions. I photograph life in all its authenticity, focusing on what truly matters: the moment, the energy, the people. Whether it’s a wedding, a family gathering, or a simple moment shared between two souls, my goal is to make you feel something.

Based in the South of France, with a second home in the Luberon, I travel far and wide.
My work takes me across France and sometimes abroad, following couples, capturing their love stories wherever they unfold. I am constantly inspired by adventure, the people I meet, and the emotions I witness. Every photo I take is a reflection of my love for people in all their facets. That’s why my business is called “Folks-story”—it’s the story of people, captured in moments of truth.

There’s a duality in my approach to photography.
On one hand, there’s my instinct: a hypersensitivity to emotions, capturing them in their purest form, raw and unfiltered. I photograph life as it happens, in its most authentic state. I’m not looking for perfection, just the feeling that makes each moment unique.

On the other hand, there’s my creativity.
Here, I pause. I reflect. I shape the image, organizing the feelings I’ve captured into something more. Each photo becomes a work of art, born from an idea, an inner vision I want to share. Between instinct and reflection lies my art—spontaneity meeting creation. And it’s in that space I find my truth.
