Photographe humaniste, voyageur et urbain

J'ai toujours eu le désir de cristalliser le fugitif, de révéler l'imperceptible. Je ressens de la poésie dans des atmosphères décalées; j'aime la surprise des rencontres inattendues; j'aime traverser le miroir et pénétrer des mondes parallèles... c'est ce que j’exprime dans mes images.

Mon approche photographique aborde différents sujets: l'architecture, les paysages urbains, la rue et les gens .... Pour mes prises de vues, je déambule "au feeling" au sein des lieux où je me trouve; particulièrement attiré par les espaces en mutation, les friches urbaines, les mondes entre deux, les espaces oubliés, ceux en construction, les quartiers "chauds"; où je me trouve en résonance.

Professionnel depuis 2014.

Humanist, traveler and urban photographer

I have always had the desire to crystallize the fugitive, to reveal the imperceptible. I feel poetry in quirky atmospheres; I like the surprise of unexpected meetings; I like to go through the mirror and penetrate parallel worlds ... that's what I express in my images.

My photographic approach addresses different subjects: architecture, urban landscapes, the street and people .... For my shots, I wander "by feeling" within the places where I am; particularly attracted to changing spaces, brownfields, worlds in between, forgotten spaces, those under construction, "hot" neighborhoods; where I find myself in resonance.

Professional photographer since 2014.
