ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a film director, I used to spend my time organising fashion shoots, but I didn't feel at home in the studio surrounded by stylists with perfect manicures and coifures, nor on location working with teams of 25 people. One day I took an associative bus to see with my own eyes the reality of the Calais "jungle". The bus stopped and driven back to Paris escorted by the CRS, nothing could stop me, under a heavy rain I took a stop sign and I fell into a cloud of tear gas. In front of me I had a group of "migrants" running away from the water cannon of the police. All I know is that my heart started beating harder, and I knew why I was there. This sad beauty has inspired me more than fction or fashion photography. Everything that inspires me in photography is necessarily more or less sad.

In photojournalism, we do not retouch the photos. We deliver naked and raw reality. And yet, what is reality? Can the objective of the photojournalist reflect it? The choice of the object, the choice of the framing are already a bias. A bias in which a world view is contained. Kamila Stepien has chosen to assume her bias. Her photos do not show the war as it is, but as she sees it. Born in an industrial and grey city in the Soviet Union, Kamila sees life in pink. Colours and impressions that she has learned to transcribe in her photographs. First in fashion and then in photojournalism. Present since 2014 in Eastern Ukraine, Kamila Stepien the steel storm of mechanical warfare as she sees it.
