My documentary projects question the place of man in his universe through the notions of identity, memory and tradition.
My photographic writing is inspired by the humanist tradition and unmistakably by streetphotography, in a rather pictorial, offbeat (as much as possible!) and colorful style.
The notion of time is central to my work, both professionally and personally, as my approach is to spend time with my subject in order to get to know it better, to share it and to transmit their story properly.
This year, my topics have been oriented towards sports, with committed athletes such as Arnaud Assoumani, Enzo Lefort or Wizzy Gang.
My work has been published in :
L'EQUIPE MAGAZINE, ELLE, PARIS MATCH, LE PARISIEN, LE FIGARO, PHOTO, COURRIER INTERNATIONAL, L'OBS, VSD, THE GOOD LIFE, MOTO MAGAZINE, SCIENCES & VIE, CHALLENGES, MARIANNE, FRANCE INFO, REISE REPORTER, AAP - ALL ABOUT PHOTO, LA GRENOUILLE A GRANDE BOUCHE.
