A l'aide d'une anecdote, la photographe Janine Niepce explique pourquoi elle s'est intéressée à la parole des femmes.
Elle s'est mise à les écouter attentivement et a trouvé leurs sujets de conversation bien plus dignes d'intérêt que ceux des hommes. Elle a alors décidé de les photographier dans leur vie quotidienne.
The photographer Janine NIEPCE talks about her book, entitled "Les années femme", which retraces in photos nearly 50 years of the evolution of the status of women in France. She says she found many of her stories in women’s magazines, and gives the example of the evolution of sex education in school.
Janine NIEPCE is adept in a "new" way of making photo portraits: photographing people on the spot, naturally, in all moments of daily life. To the amateur photographers around her, she gives some "tips" and advice to succeed in their portraits.

Janine NIEPCE talks about various aspects of her job as a photographer: for her, it is necessary to have an interest in people, to be lively and curious, but also to know how to be forgotten by her "subjects".
