Annie GENTIL-KRAATZ

I am a French artist and photographer based in London. 

As an artist, I am interested in personal themes like pain and resilience, emotions, relationships and vulnerabilities. 

As a photographer, I thrive on human interactions so I do enjoy documentary, event and portrait photography.

From 2001 to 2020, I completed various art courses and got particularly interested in conceptual art and photography.

In 2022, I completed a photography MA (with Merit) with the University of Falmouth in Cornwall, UK. My main MA projects focused on social documentary and portrait photography. I explored the theme of racism and, for one module, worked in collaboration with Nawroz Oramarî, a Kurdish singer, to produce a photo-book, combining his words with my photographs.

So far, my pictures have been published on the Daily Telegraph website, the Sunday Mirror Notebook supplement, the Pick Me Up magazine, the BBC News, The View from the Shard, Tortz, Reventure and EPP websites, the French travel guide Petit Futé Rome 2020, a SOAS newsletter and the German newspapers Frankfurter Rundschau and Westfälische Nachrichten, as well as on my own website FrenchWorldOnline.com.

I have exhibited in the Espacio, artFix, Cowcross, 1885, Lauderdale and RK Burt galleries in London. I have also exhibited in the Fotoklub Gallery in Split, Croatia.  

My next solo exhibition after Deptford X 2023, The Fringe Art Festival, should be in Artfix Greenwich in October 2024.
