Mathilde Biron is a French photographer and author born in 1997 and based in Paris. Her photographic work explores the body and intimacy with a great freedom of vision. This free and direct gaze is most often conveyed through the grain and texture so prominent in her film photographs. Simplicity and authenticity are her watchwords; she doesn't seek to impress with artificial staging, but rather to tell her story, using soft focus, subtle lighting, and palpable sensuality..^[1]

Before turning to photography, she worked as a model while pursuing her studies: her experience as a model was invaluable in shaping her understanding of gazes and bodies.^[2]

Mathilde has an artistic background, including preparatory courses in arts and design, a bachelor's degree in philosophy of design, and a diploma in event scenography—but she is also largely self-taught in photography, particularly in the use of film and Polaroid.^[3]

A rising star, she has been described as "one of the most promising photographers of her generation" by Thibault Loucheux Legendre, editor-in-chief of Snobinart.^[4]

After attending preparatory classes for the École Normale Supérieure in the Design section, where she discovered film photography and developing, she pursued studies in the philosophy of design and obtained a degree in event scenography ^[5]. A self-taught photographer, she nevertheless developed a refined mastery of film and Polaroid.

Her work focuses on intimacy, femininity, authentic nudity, and bodies in their sensitive fragility, questioning these notions often troubled by the digital age ^[6]. The bodies are often nude, without artifice or appropriation of a particular style of dress or era. She favors analog and therefore vintage tools (Nikon FM2, Pentax Espio or Olympus, Polaroid) to restore a unique materiality to each image.

Mathilde Biron draws inspiration from artists such as Nan Goldin, Sally Mann, Francesca Woodman, Antoine d’Agata, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Johanna-Maria Fritz, whom she admires for the visceral commitment of their images and their way of inhabiting reality. Her work falls within a lineage of photographers who play with spontaneity and freedom, evoking analogies with artists like Larry Clark or Ryan McGinley.^[13]
