B I O G R A P H Y Camille Sanson's passion for visual arts and photography blossomed during her formative years at the Rudolf Steiner school in Auckland, New Zealand. Her artistic journey reached new heights as she delved into the world of Fashion Photography at the University of the Arts, London.

Her editorial prowess has graced the pages of prestigious publications including Vogue Ukraine, Elle, Hong Kong Tatler, Glamour Italia, Remix Magazine, Glassbook, and Noise Magazine.

In 2008, Camille founded Disciple Productions, a photography and production company based in East London. Over the years, she has made significant contributions to the realms of fashion, beauty, and still life photography. In 2019, she embarked on a journey from London to New Zealand, immersing herself in new perspectives and inspirations. Recently, she has made Lisbon, Portugal, her creative haven, bringing her wealth of experience and artistic flair to the heart of Europe.

Camille Sanson's artistic odyssey is a testament to her unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, exploring the ethereal, and capturing the essence of beauty in all its diverse forms.
