Bio:

Virginie Drujon-Kippelen is a French-American photographer whose work explores the visual representations of the natural world, investigating themes which include the sense of place, the notion of wilderness and the visualization of climate change. She engages with these questions through the practice of both documentary and conceptual fine art work. Born and educated in France with a degree in philosophy and political sciences, Virginie came to the United States to complete a M.A in journalism ( University of Arizona). Besides working as a professional photographer, she devotes part of her time writing and filming about photographers and artists for @ArtsATL.com. She is a member of @TheLuupe collective and a fellow at @BlueEarth Alliance.
