Isabelle LindberghBiographyb.1989 Photographer Isabelle Lindbergh, photographer and Pilot was born in Senlis near Paris, France. Granddaughter of American aviator Charles Lindbergh, (the first to cross the North Atlantic non-stop. In May 1927), she also transformed a childhood passion into a profession. An artist at heart, from the age of 5, Isabelle expressed from this early age, a particular gift in the field of artistic creativity - drawing, creating artwork, and around the same time began to start taking her first photographs in her hometown. Her mother enrolled her since a little age in painting workshops in Paris where she was able to regularly visit museums and galleries to view exhibitions and grow her fascination with art. “My grandmother wanted to be a photographer, but she couldn't because of a problem with her legs. So, I was her legs“, remembers the photographer.At the age of 14, “I discovered the suite adobe Photoshop. I was pretty good, a real geek! The lens of his disposable camera captured the moments of school and all that generally surrounded me. My mother had to develop everything, poor thing!” This passion and talent didn’t go unnoticed by those around her, and with this encouragement, Lindbergh formalised her exploration of the arts by embarking on photography studies at some of the most renowned schools in France, including the ESSAG Penninghen graphic art school in Paris and Les Goblins Paris. In 2015 she obtained her Masters in photography. Since graduating 10 years ago, Lindbergh’s "savoir-faire" has been requested in various fields, from fashion, cosmetics and luxury to music. She quickly began working for big companies such as Publicis and Prodigious Factory, where she acquired a great deal of digital and photographic knowledge to create high-end images, which naturally led her to collaborate as a successful commercial photographer with prestigious clients such as Lancel, Swarowski, Yves Saint-Laurent and Kerastase to name a few. Commercial photographers don't take pictures, they make pictures. Often the simplest looking shots require the most time and effort. With glistening objects such as jewellery or crystals, achieving minimalism might actually require multiple composites to control and eliminate unwanted reflections Today you could fly from New York to Paris in the amount of time she takes to compose and light a perfect still life. In recent years Lindbergh has diversified and she has photographed album covers for singer Oboy and the French soul band Kimberose, the French singer Vanille Leclerc, and Ayana Kamura . Arriving in St Barthélémy in 2020, what started as a short stopover became an uninterrupted stay. Isabelle fell in love with the island as soon as she arrived: "My heart flipped when I saw the airstrip. An impressive piste that almost makes us dive into the sea”. Happy to have found refuge in St Barth, a place that inspires her and where she was able to make new friends she made decisive encounters regarding her art. Attracted by the environment of luxury and music, she managed to find her place there and remains convinced that everything depends on the will. “The health crisis forced me to adapt, find new clients. Doors close but others open!” This first island professional experience was only the first of a long series and very quickly other companies requested her services, such as Jacques Zolti, Vilbrequin, Roger Moreau and Varda, which led her to establish a new studio in record time.Isabelle affirms her vocation, taking photos of people from all walks of life. Isabelle, credits her years in Longjumeau for opening her eyes to the world: "I met the world in all its diversity at Longjumeau.It made me want to interact with people and it also helped affirm my belief that art is a way to break down social barriers.” "Today I feel confident in my approach and it is important for me to express my artistic language outside of the advertising world, devoting myself to more personal and intimate series that reveal a search for sincerity, simplicity and authenticity." "Having lived in St Barth for several years, I wanted to share an almost olfactory and sensory series called Spirit of the Wind. Through unusual, poetic photos, I associate humans with nature, surrounded by a warm light, specific to the island that creates an atmosphere of mysterious, secret tranquility."
