La Verrière through the lens of Pauline Fournier

Back to news

A photographer passionate about glass roofs and Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture, Pauline Fournier has developed a singular photographic aesthetic, notably inspired by Impressionism. At La Verrière Louis Bouillot, she captured the light, lines, and details of the venue to offer a deeply personal interpretation.

Working exclusively with natural light, Pauline Fournier plays with movement, blur, and image layering. Architectural lines double, contours soften, and transparencies blend with textures. The model in period costume merges into the setting, creating a composition where architecture and human presence seem to belong to the same painting.

Through her lens, the signature features of La Verrière become raw material for creation: the glass structure and its floral motifs, the stained glass windows, as well as the woodwork, mirrors, fireplaces, and furniture. Natural light passes through these different spaces and plays an integral part in composing the images.
This approach, nurtured by an Impressionist sensibility, gives the photographs an almost painterly dimension. Rather than documenting La Verrière in a literal way, Pauline Fournier offers a sensitive vision made of movement, light, and plays on perception.

This artistic encounter naturally aligns with the bond that Maison Louis Bouillot has maintained throughout its history with creativity and artists.
