"A camera is
an extension of the photographer’s eye . I am personally
involved in my
photographs, using, my experience and my visions
as a source of inspiration.
From Haute
Provence to Holland via Marseille and Dublin, I have, for the last ten
years
travelled through these different places with my AE1 and my Mamiya
medium-format,
trying to highlight people and their places. I discovered photography
and
Marseille at the same time. This fascinating city has given birth to a
great
curiosity , which has enabled me to photograph with eagerness its
fishermen,
its demonstrators or these pupils from the suburbs with whom I worked
for six
years. I'm now settled in Delft with family where I explore
the dutch habits with my digital and analog cameras.
Taking a
photograph is a sharing experience between the subjects and the
photographer.during
the shooting, and with the public during the exhibition. This sense of
sharing
also means that I respect the human side of the subjects, and that I
remain
faithful to them. Indeed, each image delivers a message to the viewers
and
induces a reaction from them. Discussion, observation, smiles... are
magic
moments which belong to everyone. My pictures fulfil their purpose as
soon as
they trigger off such reactions."
