Marie-Claire Bozant is a fine art photographer and vintage collector based in Santa Monica, California.
A world traveller by the age of 3, I have been on the move ever since. Two constants in my floating existence have been my love of photography and vintage fashion. I began taking pictures and collecting vintage simultaneously. In the decades since, I have continued to explore these passions. While my photographic work leans towards the realm of empty space, often, the costumed figure appears within this architecture. I am attempting to preserve a history created by and for myself in these images. I hope you enjoy these musings on space and costume —Marie-Claire Bozant
