MessageLafayette photographer Anne-Marie Auer’s background in dance, fashion, and travel enlighten
her work as a film and digital photographer. Anne-Marie was awarded an artist residency at
Chateau Orquevaux, located in France, for two weeks in August of 2024 – decorated with an
Emerging Artist scholarship and the Denis Diderot grant. Her collection “Golden Veil” will be
published as the cover story/collection of Mob Journal, a fashion magazine, and a 10 page spread
in November of 2023. Anne-Marie began her artistic career and witnessed her first professional
photoshoot as the head intern for Acadiana Fashion Week in November 2019. Within this space,
Anne-Marie cultivated a sense of photography as the integration of movement of the model, the
design of the artist, and architecture of the stylist to make a single statement of meaning.
Anne-Marie graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in December 2020, with
much of her last two years dedicated to ballet and aerial arts. During her ballet studies,
Anne-Marie refined her awareness of alignment and movement as she observed pre-professional
ballerinas in her classes. Anne-Marie brings this experience into her shoots as she poses people;
and in her vision for landscapes, often capturing the port de bras of treelines. Lastly,
Anne-Marie’s vast experience as a solo-traveler enlightens her photography deeply. Her travels
have made her keenly aware of human diversity and natural modes of expression and being.
Much of her film photography seeks to share awe-inspiring spaces that have truly become her
“friends” because of the intimate time spent with the space in solitude and stillness. From all
these experiences, Anne-Marie has cultivated the power of sensitivity and discernment for
moments where light, nature, history, and architecture demand and conspire to be captured
through film. Anne-Marie began film photography in 2021 and continues to experiment with
film and digital to develop her craft and grow in deeper appreciation for this delicate and
authentic medium.
