Mercedes Parodi - New_#f6f7fa oval.jpg

Mercedes Parodi is a British photographic artist based between London and Aix-en-Provence, France, where she has lived for over two decades and studied digital photography at ESSAIX (L'École supérieure d'art d'Aix-en-Provence) from 2009 to 2013.

​

She approaches photography as a connective practice – the camera not only captures light, but also records energetic presence and interaction.

​

Protean light is both her medium and subject. Over sixteen years of intensive practice, she has created a substantial body of work exploring light and form.

​

Her immersive, large-scale compositions address the human condition – exploring themes of transition, interaction, and movement from darkness toward light.

​

The large format photographic artworks are created using traditional editing tools (no AI). Her process spans spontaneous light capture, meticulously layered composition, and hand-driven autonomous pixel re-formation.
 

​Luminous Editions is the dedicated online print studio of Mercedes Parodi, proposing a curated selection of design-oriented limited editions of no more than 30 pieces across all sizes, with high quality printing and matte acrylic production by WhiteWall Berlin.

​

Over a decade of photographing the mythological statuary and light sources across the Versailles estate has resulted in 'The Versailles Mythology Collection' – 30 compositions that invite viewers into an immersive encounter with both historical legacy and contemporary vision.

​

'The Versailles Mythology Collection' is now available for the first time in certified limited editions produced to museum standards.
