Born in Libreville, Gabon, Michèle Bygodt’s interest for photography began as a teenager when her father’s work led her to live in 5 different countries, in both Africa and Europe. Living in a multicultural environment, and later on moving from one country to another ignited her interest in travel photography, cultural diversity, differences and similarities. She graduated with a BA in graphic design and sciences in Paris before deciding to move to Vancouver in 2016 to pursue photography. After attending Emily Carr University of Art+Design, she graduated with a BFA in 2019. During her studies she was also a nominee for the 2018 Lind Prize.
