French photographer, I discovered Asia in 2002 while I was making a documentary about Laos (see Video) . I really had a crush on this country with his passionating culture. Since then, I have travelled on a regular basis, mostly in Asia. Therefore, photos became for me a way to share the beauty of nature and peoples I have met. Finally, I came to live in Chiang Mai Thailand in 2017, famous for the number and diversity of its temples honoured by the great fervour of the natives.
Spirituality is a very important matter in my work, I’m fascinated by the profoundness of the ancient traditions, still present in the life of many peoples today. I take pictures of scenes which gives me positive emotion, it can be landscape as well as peoples. I never stage my pictures, I like to consider photography as a meditation where you are in the moment, ready to trigger when all elements combined in order to create a subtle order.
Currently, I’m more into Time Lapse video, I really like the way it enhances beauty and impermanence of landscape.
Here are two quotes inspiring for my work:
“The real key is to realize that the universe is beautiful. The first job is contemplation. It’s just the quality to perceive.” Patrick Burensteinas – Alchemist
“Artists have the responsibility to serve humanity… give people hope.” Dalai Lama
