Céline Pannetier

At 10 years old, I already started taking photos with single-use cameras.
Then comes the conditioning of the bathroom in a dark camera to develop my photos, and at the end of my studies, I dream of going to Lille School of Journalism to emulate one of the first photographers who impacted me… Robert Capa.

But, I started working in industries far from photography such as restaurants and real estate, in Paris and Barcelona. Meanwhile, and photography remained as a hobby.

A decade ago, I took the camera again, daily.
The Straw Conspiracy, my first long-term project (2018-2020), focuses on throw-away plastic in the highly touristic center of Barcelona. The two entangled issues were, alarmingly, barely addressed before the pandemic.
The Straw Conspiracy was exhibited at the same Mercat de La Boqueria (Barcelona) and later at Chrysalid Art Gallery in Rotterdam.

In March 2020, Covid reaches Europe and its total confinement.
Needless to say, as I’m not a press photographer, I wouldn’t break lockdown to photograph the empty streets.
I joined 19 other photographers from all over Spain to, under the curatorship of Rafa Badía, give birth to “Miradas Adentro”.
At the same time, I began to take photographs, gastronomic visual creations.

These photographs received recognition from the Siena International Photography Awards in 2021 as well as the Sony World Photography Awards in 2022.
