Moonlit Stories
The ”Moonlit Stories” project started by chance during a photo shoot organized at the end of 2019.
The light and the images captured that evening were so original and specific that Cameron decided to make a series every full moon.
There were 13 in 2020 and 12 in 2021; this book includes 25 original series of black and white photos captured during full moon nights.
The light, grain, and emotion of these images are original, strong, and moving.
Cameron offers his sweet and tender vision of women in the very cinematographic settings of Saint-Martin.
A feminist, audacious and honest book.
