Bio

Let's be brief and spare the visitor the verse about the first camera (a Polaroid) found beside the Christmas tree at the age of 7. In fact, the human fascinates me, and issues about messages, images and symbols always interested me. All of which indeed motivated my career (somewhat average) in major communication agencies.

Now working for an international NGO, I make documentaries on its behalf, on behalf of companies, and also at a more personal level. My photos are referenced in the House of China and Orient in Paris and led to a few exhibitions. Cities are my main source of inspiration for snapshots taken "on the fly" by pressing the magical button of my super camera.

Training

"Photographers go to school to study photography because you can not tell if a photo is good just by looking at it." This affirmation of the brilliantly crazy picture director Mekley (?) in his very funny manifesto "I'm not a photographer", available on the Internet is not totally wrong... or totally fair...

In any case, nothing to report on the training side, except to still learn a little more every day when there is any interest for photography.
