Her work has been shown and published worldwide. She started her work in Sudan in 2002 and has since produced several photo-stories about Sudanese society published and exhibited worldwide. It was through photography that she came to know Gadalla Gubara and directed and produced her first documentary film, "Cinema In Sudan" in 2008.

In 2006-2007 she was invited by the Leighton House Museum to be artist in residence and to develop her photographic research on the theme of "Orientalism: an art for exploring". Since then Frederique's career has followed a long path to photographic archiving and historical recording that has been developed with two major projects using both photography and video, "Cinema in Sudan", and "Behind the scenes at Leighton House Museum". In 2008-2010, the museum commissioned Frédérique to record the 18 months refurbishment project.

She has extensive experience in project development and management with NGOs such as UNESCO, Action Contre la Faim, UNHCR, and Sudanese Mothers For Peace. Between 2006-2008 she coordinated a series of photographic workshops in the internal displaced persons camps of Khartoum and worked with refugee groups in London. She was a consultant for UNESCO, Department of Media and Communication, managing the construction of the first photographic agency in Sudan.

Her photographic work is distributed by the following agencies: Arabian Eye (Dubai) and Alamy (UK).
