About
I started taking pictures in 2008 with a simple DSLR and a 50mm lens. It was just me, the streets of Paris at night, and the quiet thrill of capturing moments in the shadows. My studies kept me busy during the day, so I became a nocturnal creature, finding magic in the stillness of the city after dark.
A few years later, in 2014, I got my hands on a digital Leica M and a couple of fast lenses. They opened up new possibilities, allowing me to explore the depths of night even more intimately. But slowly, the city’s concrete gave way to the call of the wild. Nature, both tamed and untamed, captivated me with its honesty and strength.
After 12 years in Paris, I moved to Fontainebleau, where the forest and its rugged boulders became my sanctuary. Here, every walk feels like a journey into the unknown, and beauty is so overwhelming it sometimes brings tears to my eyes.
Photography isn’t just a hobby, and it’s not quite a profession—it’s how I see the world. It keeps me curious, helps me find wonder in the quiet, delicate expressions of nature. Through my photos, I hope to share that sense of awe, to capture the fleeting magic of the world around us, and maybe, just maybe, help others feel it too.
