My name is Noémie Bourdin-Habert. I am French.
I grew up in France, near volcanoes. As a kid, I would spend most of my time time in the wild, surrounded by forests, lakes, rivers and mountains.
After receiving an MA in Chinese Language in 2005, I moved to China and started a career in marketing for the renewable energy sector. I came back to France in 2009, and became a marketing expert in this field. In 2016, I earned an MA in Brand Strategies.
After two years of scouting the world for the place that would host our new project, my partner and I settled down on the Pacific coast of Mexico and creates a touristic residential real estate development called ALMA.
Traveling the world allowed us to experience incredible architecture-meets-nature type of experiences experiences, which inspired our current project.
In addition, it personally allowed me to witness and document state of our planet – good and bad. This is what this site is about.
Past Personal Projects
State of The Planet
Working on the road for over a year now, this enables me to see the planet as it really is, good and bad.
What gave birth to this project is the enormous gap between what we're being shown by influencers or bloggers and the world as it really is.
This current project is still personal. It will document landscapes, people and situations around the globe, with a particular stress on environmental issues.
With this in mind though, I am available to document specific locations for clients.
Contact me here if you are interested in a particular story on environmental matters.
I believe the greatest partnerships are the result of a particular feeling between people and people's work.
I met Charlotte over a Yoga Training - she was an awesome teacher. We kept in touch, and the day she launched her own well-being coaching company, I was happy to be her photographer.
Together we defined the scope of what she needed, technically, graphically and in terms of atmosphere.
The Group is an international art company, open to all. Following a decade of art projects around the world, Agathe Simon founded this collective adventure in Paris in 2017. The Group currently includes 100 persons, aged 9 to 82, from 26 countries, every walk of life and a wide range of professional backgrounds.
I have been a photographer for The Group since its creation. It is a chance to be documenting the events organized by The Group as they are not conventional. They are not social, but they are not always staged either. They are experiences where I have no idea beforehand what will be the conditions and the events.
It is a unique opportunity to always put myself outside my comfort zone and react artistically to any situation.
LavyzOë was created in 2014 by Hayat in echo to a travel she did back in her birth country, Morocco.
The brand creates and commercializes cosmetics that are not only natural, but organic and precious. Indeed, too many of our cosmetics use chemicals and rather useless components.
LavyzOë's products' ingredients are always pure, as few as needed, and harvested ethically.
I was commissioned by LavyzOë for photo-shooting, both pack-shot and studio shooting, for art direction, photo editing, as well as for the organization of events.
As a woman, it is always an honor to work for other women with a vision, with ethics, and with a sens of business at the same time.
