CARMEN BLIKE: PHOTOGRAPHER, ANTIBES, FRANCE

Meet Carmen Blike, an expat American photographer living in Antibes, France. She is one of my students and is really rocking photography in her little town by the sea.

Carmen is a hugely dedicated and committed photographer and rarely does she not have a shoot day planned or being executed. Antibes is a small town, so Carmen shoots a bit of everything, but she loves portraiture the most. 

This is her first portfolio… it won’t be her last.

Carmen shoots people, food, and product and is creating so many great photographs each week she will be doing another one of these by summer’s end.

You can see more of her work on her website.

Frauds and Imposters
