Like I’ve been doing since I was little. » she confides to Audrey Crespo-Mara, in the Portrait of the week of “Sept à Huit”, which will be broadcast this Sunday, November 3, at 7:20 p.m. on TF1.

The 25-year-old photographer, who trained at the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, also spoke in the pages of Le Parisien, where she notably recalled the day when she learned of the famous diagnosis which put the entire family’s life on hold. “I learned about it when I was flying back to Argentina. I wondered about staying, but mom was with him. I said to myself ‘he has his other half with him’, it’s good. I will be more useful in managing our farm in Argentina. » she relates in the pages of the French newspaper.
