Virtual Exhibition
Welcome to the virtual version of my photo exhibition, held at the Alliance Française of Chiang Mai from June 14 to 29, 2025.
This online gallery offers you a chance to discover each portrait, each scene, each moment—wherever you are in the world.
About Me
French by origin, I’ve been living in Chiang Mai since 2007. For the past two years, I’ve developed a deep passion for street and portrait photography.
Since childhood, I’ve watched my grandfather and my father capture our daily life, always with a Canon or a Polaroid in hand.
Today, I carry on that gesture with my Canon EOS 90D paired with an EF 85mm f/1.8 lens, and sometimes even with their old lenses, an invisible thread connecting generations.
Self-taught, I try to capture fragments of life: a glance, a gesture, a silence.
I don’t aim to beautify or distort reality. My intention is simple: to meet souls, quiet, strong, and real.
Why This Exhibition
What I photograph may seem ordinary. But to me, everything becomes extraordinary when we take the time to truly see it.
Each photo was born from a real exchange: a conversation, a smile, a fleeting encounter, always sincere.
These moments may not always be visible in the image, so I try to let them speak through light, composition, and emotion.
With this exhibition, I want to pay tribute to those we pass by without truly seeing.
To remind us that behind every face, there’s a story.
About the Title
The Quiet Unseen Extraordinary speaks of what makes no noise, what escapes the hurried eye — but once revealed, can deeply move us.
It’s an invitation to slow down. To pause for a moment. To notice what usually stays in the shadows.
Simple gestures, fleeting glances, quiet presences, all these moments we pass through without naming become, through photography, brief sparks of existence.
The title is also a statement of intent: I don’t seek the exceptional, but rather to give space to the extraordinary hidden within the everyday.
These suspended, sometimes invisible moments are, to me, the most precious.
They don’t shout — they whisper. But they are the ones that stay with us.

THANK YOU
Thank you for taking the time to explore “The Quiet Unseen Extraordinary – Framing the Souls of Chiang Mai.”
Each image in this exhibition was born from a moment of trust, a shared glance, or a quiet exchange. I’m deeply grateful to the people who allowed me to witness their world—if only for a second.
Photography has taught me that the extraordinary is rarely loud. It’s in the way someone carries their years, in a child’s curious gaze, or in the silent work of daily life.
If these images moved you, paused your breath, or made you feel closer to a stranger, then my purpose has been fulfilled.
Chiang Mai has given me so much over the past 18 years. This work is a small tribute in return.
With gratitude,
Tatiana.
