Jeanne Daheuiller is a French photographer and street artist who has made Naples her home. She first arrived in the city for thesis research, and then chose to stay.
Her story was recounted by Il Mattino, which describes her small photography stall at Port'Alba. There she shows and sells her work: analog photographs colored by hand, and images paired with lyrics from Italian songs.
A stall at Port'Alba
The stall is central to how visitors encounter her work. Daheuiller works with analog photography and manual watercolor touches, giving the prints a painted, personal quality.
Many of the images are accompanied by lines from Italian songs. Photography and music meet directly at the stall, and for readers going to look for it, that combination is what to look for: portraits and street images reworked with color and text.
No fixed days or opening hours for the stall are confirmed in the available sources, so visitors should treat it as a variable presence rather than a shop with set times.
"Vere donne": a feminist response
The feminist project "Vere donne" was born as a creative response to harassment and sexist stereotypes. It uses provocative poses, analog photography, and watercolor painting.
The idea began in conversations among friends in Paris. As Daheuiller herself recounted in a post dated May 17, 2026, the photographs were then brought to Naples and pasted in the streets of the city.
In her words from that post: "Questi sono gli ultimi scatti realizzati prima di volare verso la mia bella-caotica Napoli, che non sapevo ancora, avrei chiamato casa."
That sentence captures the arc of the project: images conceived before the move, then given a second life in Naples.
"Les complexes": weakness into strength
A second series, "Les complexes," addresses women's complexes and self-image. Presented in an independent project profile, the series is dedicated to acceptance of individual differences.
Its aim is to transform what is perceived as weakness into a form of pride and strength.
"Napoli Velata": research and poetry
Daheuiller's academic research adds another layer to her connection with the city. Listed in the Master ArTeC thesis program, her research is titled "Napoli Velata. L'anti-guide ésotérique, poétique et sensible."
The title itself links Naples, photography, an esoteric dimension, and a poetic sensibility. She came to Naples to study, and the city became both subject and home.
Learning Italian through music
Her background brings together studies in psychology, design, photography, and artistic research and creation.
She has said she also learned Italian through music, including the songs of Battiato, Lucio Dalla, and Mina. That helps explain why lyrics appear alongside her photographs: Italian songs were part of how she learned the language of her adopted city.
For visitors, Port'Alba is the practical starting point. Look for the hand-colored analog prints, the song lyrics, and the feminist street-art projects that connect Paris conversations to Naples streets.
