About.
Born in the West coast of France Solène Milcent had since lived and travelled in different places around the world. Now based in Barcelona, she has no settled place of residence, and like the experience of living and working in different places. She has worked on various projects both personal and commissioned and exhibited her work in Barcelona and Paris. Growing up in a rural area in the west of France she feels a very strong connection with the nature and the Earth. She uses mostly analog photography as a need to slow down time; away from high technology, screens, busy and fast life.
Her Work
"Taking pictures on film is all about being patient.

I use Vintage Polaroids & Analog cameras. My work is about cold winter, self portrait in the warm desert, moment of grace, people gazes, lost feelings in a big city... "
