Hi there! My name is Hanavalona Teles.
I was born in Recife, Brazil. When I turned 14, I moved to Nice, France to study.

My path towards photography began when I received my first camera at the age of eight:
a Polaroid 600.
I took portraits of a few members of my family, which I still keep today.

I was (and still) a very attentive child, deeply aware of my surroundings. Details and light have always been alive in my world, even before I knew what photography was.
Along the way, I explored my synesthesia through photography, where colors and bodily sensations work together.
Travel, literature, and a genuine curiosity for truth have led me to where I am today:
questioning reality to make an unimaginable future possible.
