Isabelle
Arnon

Photographer

In 2000, at the age of 34, Isabelle Arnon enrolled in a four-year course at the Beaux-Arts. This was an important step in her personal development, which finally enabled her to realize her first aspirations, those of art. She studied painting, sculpture and photography, which became her preferred medium. Through this form of expression, she found a balance between patience and reactivity, working outdoors and in the darkroom, waiting and revealing what chance sometimes offers in a 1/1000th of a second.

In the fifteen years since graduating in fine art photography, Isabelle Arnon has worked as an equine photographer on various publications for the press and publishing. With camera in hand (first silver and then digital), she also traveled to Mongolia and Patagonia, but it wasn't until she was at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming that she was able to pursue her urge for the great outdoors. During the four years that Isabelle Arnon lived there from the end of 2016 to July 2020, she encountered a way of life that is as mythical as it is ancient: life on a ranch that makes the dream of America a reality.

In the secret bosom of a reserved, discreet world, one that can only be approached with sincerity and humility in order to be accepted, she was completely absorbed for a while. She still fondly remembers this American adventure and the thousands of pictures that led her to her first passion, horses.
