Bio: "Valerie is a French Street Photographer that lives in Minnesota in the United States. She is an extremely active person who is very interested in humankind and the beauty that surrounds it. Valerie never rests! She teaches workshops on an international scale, constantly traveling from one big city to another and is also the hostess of the street photography weekly podcast Street Focus! While not teaching and recording her podcasts she writes for an Australian-based dPS magazine (Digital Photography School). In addition to all the above she has had her work exhibited in both the USA and Europe, featured in magazines and many websites, written countless blogs posts, and has been interviewed on shows, the radio and podcasts. She influences hundreds of people with her work on a daily basis."

What I like about these three bodies of work is the angles and the abstraction in the first and second image. I like how you can tell the silhouette's are from/of people but you don't know who they are yet you can tell that both subjects are in motion. She has a great use of gradient color, use of reflection/light that give her work unity.
