Photographer and videographer based in Paris, Ariane grew up in a village of little interest, in some kind of rural suburb. She got a little bored in the summers, in the classroom too. She still thanks the French National Education for introducing her to Orson Welles and allowing her to shoot her first videos.

In 2005, she started studying cinema at university and left a semester later when she realized she would never touch a camera. She attended a "real" shoot at the age of 18 or 19 and joined ESEC soon after. Graduated in 2009, she created her video artist collective Soda Pop Films and worked in the audiovisual sector for a few years. 

She turned to cultural journalism, wrote about sexuality and pornography as well, then she founded her design company, set up street art operations, went back to journalism and content management, while continuing her photography, video and writing projects.

Ariane finds inspiration in people, their behaviors and their stories. She takes a sociological and poetic look at the world. Everything is a pretext for questioning the human being and his intimacy: the way he shows and hides things from others, and why he does it.
