Biography

Audrey Piguet (08.07.1989) is a photographer graduated with honorable mention in 2012 from the photographic school of Vevey (CEPV). Since 2013, Audrey owns her own company and works as a freelance photographer. She navigates between commercial works (fashion and advertising) and her artistic work. Creatively minded, she designs all of the hairstyles, make-up and accessories, which appear in her photographs. She regularly gives workshops and trainings in the field of photography and image analysis, and also works part-time as an assistant for the acquisition management of Photo Elysée.

Her work has been the subject of numerous publications and awards, including the second prize for Young Swiss Talent in Photography and a selection by MAGNUM Photos. She has had more than forty solo and group exhibitions in Switzerland, France, Croatia, but also in Spain, Germany and the United States. Her first monograph "Dark Glow" was published in 2014 by l'Âge d'Homme.

Some of her photographs are part of private and public collections, such as the Maison d'Ailleurs Museum (CH) or the Center of Photography in Pennsylvania (USA). Since autumn 2020, she has joined the association "Espace Artistes Femmes" as an artist, but also as a member of the committee and responsible for cultural mediation. She is also a member of the VFG (association of creative photographers).
