About me

After studying visual communication and graphic arts at the Charpentier academy I have worked in advertising as an art director for many years before becoming professional in photography.

I transcend my shots, interpreting reality to create a sense of surrealism, surfing the thin border between truth and fiction through manipulation of form or scene-setting.

My commercial work is specialised in architecture, interior design, portrait, docu-fiction, reportage and lifestyle.

Based in Paris, I work for magazines, advertising agencies and architecture publications.
