JENNIFER CARLOS: Thank you, José. I'm a 34-year-old French Photojournalist based in Paris. My family is from India; this is where I grew up, although if you look back several generations, there’s some mix of French blood in my roots. My father had a military career in the Air Force and then in defense of the French Republic (France), and because of his position, he traveled a lot. My family settled at my birthplace, but their travel stories fed my desire for travel and my curiosity. My artistic side comes from my mum. I studied Art in various cities in France, and on the side of my studies, I have worked as a social worker for mental and psychic disabilities for many years. After art school, I was involved in photography workshops for three years. Then I went back to school for a year in journalism. After that, I got my University Degree in Documentary and Digital Writing, directed by Wilfrid Estève, founder of the Hans Lucas photo agency. Finally, at the end of 2020, I started my career in photojournalism.
