144: Unseen but Felt — A Conversation on Art, Purpose, and Creative Freedom with Laetitia Bouffard-Roupe
In this inspiring episode of the Full of Words podcast, Sue Kennedy welcomes Laetitia Bouffard Roupe — a French-born, Spain-based freelance model, dancer, and author — for a thoughtful conversation on creativity, self-expression, and the beauty of slowing down in a fast-paced digital world.
With a background in classical ballet, yoga, and fitness, Laetitia shares how movement became her language long before words did. As a full-time freelance model collaborating with photographers around the globe, she discusses the freedom and responsibility of managing her own artistic career, as well as the deep satisfaction that comes from creating meaningful, emotive imagery.
The discussion delves into her latest publication, Unseen, a fine-art photo book featuring never-before-released works — a project designed to encourage people to step away from their screens and reconnect with printed art. Laetitia also reflects on her mission to inspire others, from aspiring artists and photographers to those simply seeking more presence and purpose in their daily lives.
Together, Sue and Laetitia explore what it means to honor one’s creative vision, the balance between art and authenticity, and the importance of staying true to one’s message in a world driven by trends and algorithms.
