Mariefrance Zumaquero

Originally from Paris, France, Marie-France ZUMAQUERO has been living in Provence, in the south of France, for 25 years. The brilliant light of this region has profoundly enchanted her, particularly the landscapes of the salt marshes of Camargue. These marshes, where water and sun meet harmoniously, are the result of centuries of salt exploitation. They illustrate how human activities can coexist with nature, creating a delicate yet sustainable balance.
The salt marshes play a crucial role not only in preserving biodiversity but also in supporting the local economy. The natural scenes they offer are living works of art, shaped by the work of salt workers, the artisans who maintain this centuries-old tradition.
To capture the beauty of this unique environment, Marie-France takes photographs from a small plane, allowing her to see and immortalise the beauty of the marshes from a new perspective. This aerial viewpoint reveals the complexity and diversity of colours that make the salt marshes of the Camargue a fascinating and inspiring place.
