For Belgian photographer Bert De Busschere, aka @streetsbybert, street photography is a way of life. He discovered the love for roaming the streets in 2017, just after graduating as a journalist. Since then, he has always had his camera by his side. He became a finalist at several street photography festivals around the world with a high number of different photos. In 2023, Bert won first prize at the Fujifilm Moment Street Photo Awards in Poland. Bert also received the honourable mention for his series at Brussels Street Photography Festival. Today, he tries to experiment with different styles to create his dream world. Sometimes flash, sometimes reflections, sometimes both at the same time. His personality demands variety. In any case, for him, street photography functions as pure mindfulness and freedom.

Valérie SIX is a French photographer based in the south of France. Switching to photography after a career linked to China and then the creative industries, she transforms the daily tumult into a vibrant celebration of colors and shapes. In her artistic quest, she delicately tackles the gloom that colors our days, shedding new light on scenes that many would consider ordinary. Her carefully crafted compositions play on contrasts and frames in which passers-by become involuntary actors in a play that they are unaware of. Her images are invitations to fight against emotional and visual grayness, to look beyond the obvious and discover the poetry hidden in the shadows and lights of our environments. Rewarded by numerous prizes, jury of international festivals, her images have been widely shared on social media, exhibited around the world (Paris, New York, London, Miami, Kuala Lumpur, Milan, Nice, Arles...) and published in numerous photo books and magazines, in France and abroad.
