Maude Bardet is a French photographer whose path led from engineering and international work in Berlin and The Hague to photography. Her travels first inspired architectural photography and environmental portraits before she discovered street photography during a 2017 workshop in Ghana. Influenced by photographer Maciej Dakowicz, she developed a more complex and carefully composed approach. Guided by light and textures, Bardet uses street photography to portray slices of the human condition, while her work has gained recognition largely through online platforms, especially Instagram.
