700 meters from the beach of Santocha (France), a mega offshore platform is studying the bypassing of the canyon (Gouf de Capbreton) by the unique Inelfe underwater electrical interconnection… A project linking Gatika (Es.) To Cubnezais (Fr. ), which should increase the exchange capacity between the two countries from 2,800 to 5,000 MW.

This photo quickly established itself as the most endearing of this evening of shooting. I really like the dark tones and the orange light that the setting sun distills in the sky and discreetly on the ocean. The framing, the parallels, the perpendiculars are also probably for a lot in the attraction which it offers to the eye.

I believe that a photograph is successful when you are in harmony with it and it is difficult to look away. Sometimes, without specific explanations, words fail to express feelings. We look in vain for interpretations in shapes, colors, light. It was a bit the case here, at the beginning of its creation, but very quickly, it took its place and now accompanies me serenely, providing a feeling of peace, which encourages me to continue my work in this direction.

I carry out series of portraits of musicians, dancers, actors, screenwriters… whom I meet during artistic events. I then try to develop images that are faithful to the perception I have of what they give me to see and transmit to me. Photography turns into an unsuspected architect of social ties that gradually tear me away from daily labor, opening wide the doors to artistic creation.

In 2019, I discovered the long exposure technique, and I venture on this ground, where time and light offer new spaces of freedom and inspiration. The large spaces that I love find their place here, in another dimension and under another light. The photographic creation generates new emotions, a feeling of plenitude, where the softness and minimalism of the images, reveal the true reflection of the feelings, opening on a peaceful world with which I feel in harmony ...
