Elise Dumontet [London]  

French-born photographer Elise Dumontet moved to London 12 years ago. With her natural talent, Elise soon learned her craft by assisting some of the biggest names in the fashion industry.

Within a year of shooting for herself, she was working for magazines such as The Sunday Times Style, Tank, The Observer and All Access.

Elise's "passion for all things beautiful" drove her to create a simplistic yet unique approach to beauty photography. She says, "My one goal, with any of my pictures, is to create the most beautiful image I can, regardless of my subject."

Elise Dumontet is represented by Corbis Artist Representation.
