ABOUT

​

Creativity is the ability to invent, to imagine. I developed this aptitude during my childhood and it has never left me.

 

As a child, I saw myself becoming an architect or creating decorations for department store windows; I was always amazed by such ingenuity and innovation. I soon developed a passion for photography. My father was a photographer, I loved going with him to the studio and on outdoor shoots. “Armed” with my own camera, I tried to master different shots, I played with light. The more I experimented, the more passionate I felt about photography. But at the time, I never planned to make a living from it.

 

I spent six years studying at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Arts Olivier de Serres in Paris; it opened up a new world of possibilities for me. Driven by my sense of creativity, I worked on a wide range of projects, both personal and professional, harnessing the power of my imagination for some of France’s biggest brands. Initially, I worked at Paco Rabanne and then at Chanel: for more than thirty years, my childhood dreams came true and I reveled in my creativity. This passion for photography has always been a part of me; today, photography takes up all my time, both professionally and personally.

 

My photographic style is all about movement. My camera dances to life’s rhythms, revealing its essence. As a pictorial photographer, I am committed to sharing the world’s vibrations and nature’s beauty and strength through a series of vivid, vibrant photographs with all the power of a paintbrush.

By transforming every movement and every element into pictorial artwork, I create an original and unique world, presented in a style that has become a recognizable signature.
