About:I photograph since a long time and when I was 15 years old I got my first darkroom to work in by myself. I studied Art at the National Art School of Dijon in France for 5 years. I’m working as a professional since 6 years in a commercial swiss company where I photograph for architecture, sport events, weddings & advertising. I had the chance to travel a lot wherefore I went to Japan, China, Africa…lived in Canada and drove through the USA many times. Photographing is like an extension of my feelings in front of new places and new people. It requires to be at the right place at the right time but also understand the light which is around the subject.

Get Inspired by:Travelling is not my only source of inspiration, for even in my daily life I always seem to find things, moods and atmospheres in which inspire me to capture. I isolate one thing (form, color, person…) in one environment for telling a story or giving a unique sensation. The most important thing for me is to be honest with myself throughout the photographs. Each good&bad time in life can be inspiring. Art and Photography keep me alive.
