Photographer on Sundays…
and other days too
Originally from Nantes, I'm now based in southwest France.
Whatever image I create, I'm always looking for the human touch!
Born near Nantes some time ago, I grew up in a world where the word "culture" primarily evoked beets, vineyards, and fields.
From this rural childhood remains a deep attachment to the land and perhaps also a slight sense of illegitimacy in the face of the art world.
My first steps in visual media were through video, with the creation of a "wheelbarrow TV," a project that was both artisanal and visionary, in the pre-internet era. From this experience, I retained a taste for movement, a curiosity for reportage, and a visceral need to tell stories.
Today, photography has become for me a space for exploration between documentary and portraiture, a terrain where a form of social photography is woven: one that observes, connects, and seeks out life.
Over time, the desire for simplicity has taken hold, to evoke emotion rather than simply show, to measure the power of aesthetic impact.
This is undoubtedly the question that still haunts me: how can an image touch us without ever imposing itself?
