Annelie Vandendael is a photographer born in Belgium and raised in France. Inspired by the tendency of fashion photography to manipulate subjects and the human body, and believing that this process of falsifying feminine beauty is extremely damaging, she seeks to represent real, authentic people, keeping intact their imperfection.

With her Hasselblad analogue camera realizes realistic and perfect images, photographing beautiful young women in a poetic and surreal scenario. Their faces are often shaken by strange appearances, through ironic compositions and introducing strange elements like pink flamingos, red fish, cacti, ice creams and more.

In her last series, Sois Belle describes the human being, and especially the women who are protagonists of her shots, not as an object to manipulate, but on the contrary as an integral part of nature.
