My photography is a subjective view on reality, not an objective presentation of it. It is a transformation of reality to a parallel universe where everything is possible.

 

 

I look for the exceptional in the ordinary and I know how to make it visible. Grace, beauty and joy always pair with the hardships of life. I am passionate and choose beauty to serve my higher energy in creating objects out of my visual and emotional fascination.

 

 

Brightness, color and light give my images a positive and optimistic character.

 

 

I control chaos around me through careful and balanced compositions and careful and precise post-processing that helps me express thoughts and feelings.

 

 

My work is open to more than one interpretation. This leaves the viewer free to use their imagination, experience and memories to build content and connect with the image. In all my images there is motion and transformation in progress. This supports the concept of temporality and eternal change.

 

 

Travelling a lot with my parents as a child, I experienced different cultures and climates. Now I find that I implement three essential skills to my professional practice as a commercial photographer—curiosity, reactivity and adaptability.

 

 

During intensive studies at the Maine Photographic Workshops (now Rockport College) I implemented Ansel Adam’s, “Zone system—a method to creatively visualise the scene or object to be photographed and produce a photograph that matches and expresses that visualization.”

 

 

With rigour and accuracy, from shooting to printing, I leave nothing to chance. Today, following thirty years in advertising as a still-life photographer based in Paris, I enjoy my life as an artist.

 

 

Freed from the constraints of documenting reality, I now feel the need to freeze the impermanence of things. I experiment with time transitions—where spaces connect and interact—to showcase the parallel worlds we are passing through.

 

 

Explore, enjoy, participate in my inner journey—a journey that cannot be described, but that helps you experience an emotional state. Dive in.
