Remy has studied varied artistic media from painting, drawing, printmaking, to textiles and interior design. The constant in her work is glamour.

She ran her own freelance design firm and shot events for companies like Moleskin. Her first solo show titled "New York, Yer Breakin' My Heart" in Brooklyn, 2013, featured fifteen photos of New York city life. She was born in Vienna, Austria, has lived and studied in New York, London, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. Remy grew up in Northern California.

“Portraiture can be truth. Is it the truth of the photographer or of the subject? Or the relationship between the two? While I want my subjects to be comfortable and feel like themselves, I tend to set up artificial environments or conditions that empathize how I see the subject or how I wish the world could be. If I have spent any time with you, I have an idea of how I want to shoot your portrait.”
