About the Author: Jamie Beck took her first photograph at the age of 13 and soon after began earning her living as a professional photographer. By 28, she opened her own commercial photography studio in lower Manhattan. Jamie has shot campaigns and editorials for some of the world’s most famous brands, including Chanel, Donna Karan, Nike, Oscar de la Renta, Google, Samsung and Microsoft. Her work has appeared in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, on Netflix and in digital ad displays for Disney. In 2016, she took what was to be a one-year sabbatical to create a personal body of work in the south of France, which changed the entire course of her life, as she took on a new career as an art photographer and delivered a French-born baby girl named Eloise. Jamie lives in Provence with her husband and daughter.
