Recent work: one minuteWonderland, Street things  and more: China, Paris, food 

I was born in France in 1974.

I never took photography lessons though I always practiced it since I was a teenager.
In 1997, back from my first long stay in China, I won the award of a french national photography contest dedicated to young photographers aged between 18 and 25, which allowed me to exhibit and meet photography students and professors during their training classes in a french school.
 
A few years after that, one offered me my first analogic Leica.
  After graduating in Chinese and web communications, I worked ten years in the web and the food industry, lately as a marketing director for a food promotion company in China. I recently lived and worked in Beijing for four years. 

I returned to Paris in January 2009, and am now fully devoted to photography, in a both artistic and professional dynamic.

I am going to attend a 5 months training on studio shooting, interior lights, digital camera and Photoshop.

Until then I work on personal projects, meet people in photography festivals, and participate to some contests.

I am particularly attracted by colors, graphic shapes and texture of things. That is maybe why my photographs often are representations of our environment without a strong presence of human.
I also like grabbing the "wonderlandic" aspects of our cities.

Besides landscape photography, I am also very interested in food and interior photography, portrait, and video art.

Artists I like the most:
William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, Richard Avedon, Edouard Boubat, Olivier Roller, Martin Parr, ...
