Anne Lapied was born in 1959, far from the Alps. She discovered the mountains at a young age and knew very quickly that she would spend her life there. She started photography at the age of 7 and, 50 years later, still enjoys looking through her images after a day of shooting. She is co-director of about forty films with Erik Lapied, many of which their daughter Véronique, has also worked on. Anne has made many films about high-altitude wildlife, the people who live there and the environment. Most of her films have been shot in France, but Anne’s work has also taken her to the Himalayas, the Far North and Africa. Anne’s films have won numerous awards in nature and environmental festivals.
