About the Author

After working as a commercial photographer, Valérie Jardin now dedicates her time and passion to educating others. Since 2012, Valerie has taken her camera all over the world teaching students the art of storytelling in places where the people and streets abound: Paris, New York, Rome, Amsterdam, Melbourne, and San Francisco, just to name a few.

Apart from teaching, Valerie is the author of two ebooks, has written nearly 100 articles for various publications, writes her own blog, and records her own photography podcast called Hit the Streets with Valerie Jardin. She regularly speaks at conferences worldwide, contributes to numerous podcasts, sells fine art prints, and exhibits her work in various galleries. Valerie’s talent as a photographer and skill as a business owner caught the eye of Fujifilm USA and in 2015 she became an official Fujifilm X- Photographer.
