Bouquet blanc, 2019

Anne-Marie Toporkoff  

Born December 30, 1947.

First of all a teacher, she joined her vocation for the transmission of knowledge and her passion for computers by creating her micro-computer training company.

Nothing predisposed her to photography, except perhaps the taste for images transmitted by her grandfather Nicolas Toporkoff, cinematographer.

And, in 1970, at 23, first photos with his Canon Dial. She quickly understands that the laboratory is the essential complement to the shooting. She sets up her first photo lab and only works in black and white.

In 1995, anticipating the future, she began to work with digital devices whose progress, year after year, amazed her. To date she works with four devices; two digital: Canon 5D Mark III, Olympus M10 Mark II and two film: Canon A1, Rolleiflex.

Supported by a group of artists, it was not until 2015 that she exhibited some photos. Encouraged by success, she renews the experience regularly in Paris and in the provinces.

First exhibition in Brussels in 2018.

She is passionately fond of black and white but does not disdain color for all that, quite the contrary.

All his photos are numbered (30 copies maximum) and printed on Fine Art paper from the Hahnemühle brand, guaranteeing high quality printing with exceptional longevity.
