Biography

I live and work in Paris. My relationship with photography began as a child, with a Kodak Ektra given to me by my father. Looking through the viewfinder, I discovered another world. That simple gesture transported me outside of reality, into a suspended elsewhere — a place conducive to a different gaze, slower, more attentive. There, the world became light, texture, silence. I observed what surrounded me differently, but also what was happening within me. This back-and-forth between the eye in the viewfinder and the eye in the world, between imagination and reality, remains at the heart of my work.

As a teenager, I often took refuge in the pages of Elle magazine. Amid family tensions, those images of beautiful, free, elegant women living in luminous settings offered me a parallel world. That is where, no doubt, my first connection with photography was sketched — as an escape toward a dreamed elsewhere, peopled with beauty, softness and desire.

Later, life led me to live and work in different countries. Those years offered me a rare luxury: to observe, to slow down, to steep myself in details that often escape the hurried eye. It is there, in that offset, that my gaze became refined.

From 2017 onward, I trained with several photographers whose eye I admire: Yann Rabanier, Julien Mignot, Xavier Gary for portraiture; Albert Watson, Vincent Peters, Stefan Rappo, Daniel Archer and Carlijn Jacobs for fashion photography. In 2023, I earned a certification at École des Gobelins in the conception and construction of a photographic creative proposal.

Today, I work mainly in Paris, between my studio on rue Mouffetard and the surrounding streets, where sometimes a reflection or a raking ray of light is enough to revive the urge to create.

My current work takes the form of a new series in progress, where design and surrealism engage in dialogue within a visual universe under construction.
