Pictures are emotions you can see -
La photographie révèle les sentiments du moment
About
Montreal-based photographer, Karene-Isabelle Jean-Baptiste, is interested in capturing and recording the world around her. She worked as an engineer for many years before delving into the world of photography full time. She looks for elusive moments of magic that can appear and disappear in an instant within a scene or a human face. Her aim is to have those moments endure and express the depth of feeling that, at times, go unnoticed.
She was awarded the Photojournalism Diversity Grant by the newspaper La Presse in 2021 and received one of the inaugural grants by Black Women Photographers and Nikon USA in 2022.
She was selected as a Woman of the Year 2020 by Best Health Magazine for her photo project on Black Women in Healthcare.
À propos de
La photographe montréalaise Karene-Isabelle Jean-Baptiste cherche à capter et mémoriser le monde qui l'entoure. Elle a travaillé en qualité d'ingénieur pendant plusieurs années avant de poursuivre son intérêt pour la photographie à temps plein. Elle recherche les moments évanescents de magie qui apparaissent et disparaissant en un instant dans un lieu ou un visage. Son désir est de faire perdurer ces moments et ainsi exprimer la profondeur des sentiments soulevés mais qui parfois sont à peine perceptibles.
Elle a été sélectionnée comme récipiendaire de la bourse de la diversité de La Presse 2021 en photojournalisme.
Elle a été nommé comme étant une des femmes de l'année 2020 par le magazine Best Health Magazine pour son projet photo sur les femmes noires dans le domaine de la santé.
