Career

Starting photography from more than three years, I'm a 25 years-old self-taught freelance photographer. I live and work in Paris.

My photographic education comes from books, visual culture and on-assignment experience. I also attended several artistical and technical workshops (including Arles, Nikon and Jean Verdier institute classes).

Vision and photographic way

My main objective is to keep the original sensitiveness - meaning the first vision I had without the camera - while improving my photographic techniques and theorical knowledge.

For personal projects, I try not to fall into graphic and formal games but try to bring a new sight. The relation I maintain with a picture has to be alive at least or violent in some cases.
The aim of photographs belonging to this section is to present new experiences, discover and provoke something strong led by the theme.

On assignment, I improve my technical skills and see another way to photograph, deeply linked to client's constraints and needs. It can be either wedding photography, actor's book or press events for instance.

Regarding Earth Planet discover, my travels are covered by photographic pictures that act like a visual notebook. For this kind of images, I have no specific protocol to shoot. But generally photographs come from street trips, people encounters and scenery discovery. My spots are where my steps take me !

As my manner of shooting and seeing photography are moving, the best preface for my way to take picture must certainly be final pictures themselves, so stay tuned !
