Molly BENN
our age is 13 www.ourageis13.com
Originally from Finland; arrived in France quite young, Molly has been passionate about photography since childhood when she was absorbed by her parents’ photo books. Alongside her studies of history, she worked as an assistant editor for an online photo magazine as well as a photographer’s assistant and after awhile she decided to launch her own online magazine with her business partner Francis Montremy. Molly felt that Today’s photography was not being well represented/included in the cultural press. As she says: “Today we want to highlight those who shake photography and the photo world and make it accessible to all.”
