Raised in an artistic family surrounded by musicians, painters, sculptors, and writers, I began wandering the streets of Paris with my camera as a teenager. Originally from France and living abroad for over thirty years, I have always been drawn to discovering the world and the people within it. Through my photography, I seek to capture emotions, fleeting moments, and fragments of everyday life.

​

Curious by nature and attracted to the unknown, I am particularly interested in photographing different cultures. My images aim to tell human stories and reveal the richness and diversity of the world around us.

Although my work explores several photographic genres, including documentary photography, the street remains my true playground. I walk with no precise destination, guided by instinct, attentive to gestures, glances, and the quiet poetry of ordinary moments.
