As a French photographer currently based in Belgium, I am passionate by portraying people in their religious, social and natural environment without any taboos but always in a respectful manner. My photography aims at digging out overlooked topics, people and places and bringing the “audience” closer to the unusual voices. Several of my photo essays are distributed by the photo press agency Ciric. As a self-taught photographer graduated in political science and international affairs, I came to documentary photography through various assignments in fragile or post-war countries. I have always been eager to improve my photographic practice, notably through several masterclasses taken with world-wide recognized photo reporters.
