Brigitte Bourger spent over 35 years as a pharmacist in French Polynesia before devoting herself fully to photography. Living in Tahiti gives her direct access to some of the world's most extraordinary marine environments, and that proximity shapes everything she does.
Her Ephémères Impressions project, a minimalist series exploring the fragility of Pacific marine life, resulted in a sold-out book that won gold at both PX3 Paris and TIFA Tokyo. It's serious, internationally recognised work built around color, abstraction and a deep concern for environmental fragility.
In this episode Brigitte talks about finding her direction through workshops in Japan, the influence of Michael Kenna on her thinking, and how an instinct led, tripod and filter based process defines her approach. She also reflects on the challenge of earning recognition as a photographer in an era of image overload and AI.
