Les Filles de la Photo – Mentorat
Les Filles de la Photo have announced the five winners of the 3rd edition of their Mentorat 2024. Soum Eveline Bonkoungou, Claire Delfino, Safia Delta, Hélène Jayet and Lydia Saidi were selected and will receive personalised support. Followed by pairs of mentors, they will continue their work, which will then be presented at PhotoSaintGermain in 2025. In response to the disparity that exists between men and women photographers on their path to recognition, Les Filles de la Photo launched this programme in 2020 as a career accelerator dedicated to women photographers, with the aim of supporting them in the realisation of their projects and the development of their career path.
