CASSANDRINE DESTIMA

is a Haitian photographer born in Plaisance du Nord and raised in Sarthe, a neighborhood of Cité Soleil. It was during her medical studies that she discovered a deep passion for photography. In 2021, she joined the Kamera m Chanje Vi’m training program, followed by additional courses—many online—and a cinematography program with Cinéma Nous.

As an independent photographer, Cassandrine specializes in fine art photography, whether in portraits or event coverage. She always brings a personal and artistic touch to her work.

As vice president of AFPHA (Association of Haitian Women Photographers), she advocates for fairer representation of women in the visual arts and image-based professions.

In 2024, she launched two major projects:

  • Rétro Shoot, a series of vintage-inspired photographs

  • Les Jeux de la Dame, a visual exploration of the female body, power, and freedom

That same year, she was awarded Influential Photographer of the Year by Kwonik Ekonobiz.

In 2025, she was nominated for the African Photography Oscars in Togo and invited to the Femmes, Vies, Libertés festival, organized by ON STAGE PHOTOGRAPHY in France.

Cassandrine is a powerful voice in the new generation of Haitian visual artists, blending creative expression with deep commitment.
