Author Bio

Alexandra Sophie is a French artist and renowned fashion and fine art photographer. Her work is described as sensual, fresh, and feminine, often entwining humans with nature. Alexandra lives with her husband and her two sons (whom she homeschools) and finds inspiration in their large garden, where they live as self-sufficiently as possible, with their beehives and vegetable patch. She regularly travels to universities and art festivals as a speaker and workshop teacher, and spends much time photographing in natural light in forests, meadows, and other natural environments around the world. Her work often reflects the flowers in her own garden; whenever she is with her camera, its often only to question humanistic identity and the word normal, a term that has challenged her own identity for much of her young life. Beyond all its meanings, she questions humans identity as normal through her studies of the human body combined with ethereal story-telling, and especially women's rights to place within nature itself. Alexandras award-winning photography has gained international recognition, featuring collaborations and covers with high-fashion clientele, such as Swarovski, Cacharel, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, and Harpers Bazaar UK, among many others; in 2018 Forbes named her as one to watch in its 30Under30 Europe profile. She has juried for international photography competitions, hosts workshops and conferences, and exhibits her work all over the world.
