Corinne Vallienne is a French fine art photographer and professor at Waseda and Hosei Universities, based in Tokyo for over 25 years. Specializing in black and white architectural photography, her work explores themes of urban solitude and "Geometric Spleen." Her ongoing project, Ukiyoe de béton, captures the silent dialogue between the city's rigid structures and its fleeting moments. She recently received an Honorable Mention at the 2025 Tokyo International Foto Awards (TIFA).
