CORRESPONDENCE
France

Bernie
Diène
Senegal - France
Parisian in her thirties and
working with numbers,
Bernie has a great passion
for photography which
she does in her spare time
under the nickname “The
glob’girl.” Photography
is in fact a way for her to
express the artistic streak
that has always been in
her since childhood, a
period during which she
loved to draw. Besides,
it often happens that she
takes back her pencil to
jot down ideas for future
photo shoots. Her current inspirations valorize femininity, when she
does not try to deliver
messages about love and
racial harmony. However,
one of her next challenges
will be to work with male
models.
