A french photographer in Delft.

"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."
