“I’m still finding my style. I like storytelling, I like editorial work. I’m still exploring I would say but I like to capture people in their natural element. Like, I don’t like posing people.” — Maybeline Dugue-Despagne [0:01:47]
“At some point, I’ll pick some of my shoots. I am not going to be as available as I am right now because I want family time also. I want to slow down some time because I get tired. So it is going to be maybe coaching, maybe workshops, and different things.” — Maybeline Dugue-Despagne [0:25:07]
