About Nathalie

I am a print and web journalist in various fields, as well as the founder of a cinema news website. For nearly fifteen years, I have been navigating between two media that allow me to refine my prolific writing.

I cover all writing formats and many universes: cinema, culture, art, architecture, decor, graphic design, books, music, photography, sports... My field of exploration is therefore diverse.

My achievements include: a 10-page dossier on tennis in comics; an 18-page article on the artistic customization of tennis courts; book and comic book reviews; an in-depth article on the history and covers of The New Yorker; on the history of the iconic NASA Worm logo; portraits of graphic designers and designers (Chermayeff & Geismar); graphic designers and photographers (Herbert Matter); illustrators (Laurent Durieux, Malika Favre); iconic architects (Zaha Hadid, John Lautner); music artists (Sophie Hunger); cinema (Jean-Luc Godard); visual artist (Peter Stampfli); photographers (Tom Blachford, Marcel Hartmann); pastry chefs (Pierre Hermé).

But also interviews from the world of art (Valérie Belin, Gérard Fromanger, Marjane Satrapi); in cinema (Joe Dante, Tobe Hooper, Lloyd Kaufman); fashion, music and cinema (Emmanuelle Seigner); in special effects (Phil Tippett, Joe Letteri, Dennis Muren).

Or even music reviews (image and sound) for Blu-ray releases (Pink Floyd, Maria Callas, Rolling Stones, Miles Davis); photo reports on interiors (Nicky Dobree's luxury chalets)...

I cover festivals, like Cannes. I participated in the press kit for the documentary RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the US Supreme Court Justice) for an interview with the actress who voices her in French.

I am available, fast, curious, eclectic, reliable, versatile, and capable of managing multiple assignments at the same time.

    April 2026 - Today (4 months)
    Paris, France
    My portfolios (work in progress), updated almost daily, with my mission statements, as well as my first visual storytelling series "The Dark City".

    For twenty years, I have been a freelance journalist in arts and culture, as well as the founder of a cinema news website. I have covered many topics on the photographic medium and met many emerging and iconic photographers.

    I finally decided to get behind the lens to offer my perspective, as a perfect complement to my life. I enjoy exploring black and white, architecture and design, exhibitions, art events and fairs, streets, views and landscapes, gardens, parks, and squares.

    March 2026 - Today (5 months)
    Paris, France
    Author of a first book (an essay) "Jim Morrison, the impenetrable ways", to be published by Double Ligne in autumn 2026.

    Book Description

    Jim Morrison was a clairvoyant and attentive observer of the world. A deeply intelligent being, full of humor and sensitivity, in search of truth and meaning. From his teens, he was already that special boy who devoured Nietzsche, Rimbaud, Kerouac, and Blake, filled his notebooks with poems, and loved to travel by hitchhiking. In the fervor of the sixties, he continued to lead the bohemian life he had chosen.

    The essay-style narrative explores his work and personality through his vision of itinerancy that spans his twenty-seven years of existence. An angle that has ultimately been little explored in depth. The rock star dressed in black leather fades away, giving way to the writer and traveling poet. From sprawling Los Angeles to intellectual Paris, Jim opened multiple paths, where encounters, adventure, the road, hitchhiking, the city, and America punctuate his incandescent work.

    Poems, texts, and fragments of interviews, anecdotes, excerpts from Doors songs, and recording sessions punctuate his physical and spiritual journeys. The films HWY and Feast of Friends, as well as his Shelby 500GT, are of course part of this existential road trip with this rootless traveler whom we never cease to want to explore.
