Born in France, in 1972. I live in Bordeaux.
As a self-taught photographer, I like to walk and observe, to let myself be guided both by my state of mind and by what I see. I often think of Henry David Thoreau’s quote: « It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see ».
In 2020, I thought a lot during the pandemic. I decided to change my career. Indeed, I need a new challenge before I get too old. I need to express myself, again.
For 13 years I have worked in the service of people. I stepped aside to help them express themselves. As a radio journalist, I have run many radio workshops (with young people, persons with disabilities and elderly or isolated people). A gratifying and useful job but I felt the need to express myself before it’s too late.
I was lost, I didn’t know where I was going. I felt cramped, I no longer believed in what I was doing and in myself. A decision needed to be made. Then, I decided to become a professional artist photographer. A risky but necessary choice. I need it to be at one with myself. To feel free, alive, again.
For me, photo is a mirror or a window, often both. There is always a part of me in my artworks. It’s a real means of creation, expression and sharing.
I want to encourage people’s interpretation and imagination, according to their personality and emotions. I create a beginning of a story… People imagine the following, in or beyond the frame.
