A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME.

Born and raised in Provence, I’ve called Paris home for over a decade now.

Two very different worlds, both close to my heart. The softness and warmth of the South, the energy and endless inspiration of Paris. I like to think a little of both has found its way into how I see the world, and ultimately, how I photograph it.

I’ve always been someone who holds onto memories. The smallest details, the things people say without thinking, the moments that seem ordinary at the time but stay with us for years.

Perhaps that’s part of what drew me to photography.

I’m endlessly fascinated by people and the beautiful unpredictability of human relationships. A glance exchanged when no one is watching, a nervous hand reaching for another, laughter that takes everyone by surprise. Those little, unscripted moments are often the ones I find myself looking for.

My approach is documentary and intuitive. I observe, anticipate, and leave room for things to happen naturally, without trying to turn every moment into a photograph.

But being discreet doesn’t mean being distant.

I love getting to know people, making them feel comfortable, sharing a laugh, and knowing when a little guidance or reassurance can make all the difference.

Eyes open, heart beating.

I’m there for the unexpected, the beautifully imperfect, and everything in between. For the stories that unfold in their own way, and the photographs that allow us to revisit them years later.
