Audrey Baunez

Hi, I’m Audrey. I’m a photographer, film director and creative director based in Paris, working across France, Europe and North America.
For almost 20 years, I’ve been drawn to the same thing: people, stories and the feeling an image can leave behind.
I’m fascinated by the way a photograph or a film can make us feel something before we even understand why. A face, a landscape, a particular light, a fleeting gesture, sometimes the smallest things can stay with us.

My work moves between photography and film, from portraits and fashion to campaigns, commercials and narrative projects. Whatever the format, I’m always looking for that balance between beauty and emotion, imagination and something deeply human.

Born and raised in France, I moved to Vancouver after film school in 2012 and spent more than a decade building my career in Canada before returning to Paris.
Living between two cultures and constantly moving between places has shaped the way I see the world. I’m curious by nature, drawn to new environments, different perspectives and the stories people carry with them.

I love the quiet beauty of everyday moments just as much as the feeling of discovering somewhere completely new, a storm rolling over the ocean, autumn light through the trees, a face across a room, a road leading somewhere unknown.

I care deeply about human connection, inclusivity and wonder.
I want people to feel seen, whether they are in front of my camera or watching something I’ve created. I’m drawn to stories about identity, relationships, vulnerability, joy and all the complicated, beautiful things that make us human.

Ultimately, I want my work to feel like an invitation, to step inside, to feel something, to escape for a moment.
That feeling of being transported somewhere and thinking: wow!
That’s what I’m always chasing.

That sense of wonder and connection is at the heart of everything I create.

Let’s connect!
