About Valerie

I am currently a photographer for the entertainment department at Getty Images, for Agence France Press in Los Angeles and for Andia covering both news and entertainment. In my 25-year career as a photojournalist, my work ranges from local news to red carpet and live performances. In addition to my photography work in the United States, I have worked in Europe, Latin America, Asia, French Polynesia, as well as numerous locations in the Pacific.
After receiving my degree in Journalism in France, I began contributing to major French magazines such as L’Express and Le Nouvel Observateur, and began working for the photo agencies Sygma and R.E.A/Saba.
Since 2006, working for Getty Images and the Los Angeles office of AFP, I have photographed some of the world’s most famous actors and directors, the Hollywood’s main award ceremonies (Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, SAG, Grammys), as well as photographing the unveiling of new stars on Hollywood Walk of Fame, movie premieres, live performances, private parties and after-parties. In addition, I have worked for Miss Universe Organization covering the “behind the scenes” of the Miss U.S.A and Miss Universe pageants for the past three years.
