I was born in a small village in the north of France, where I spent a solitary childhood in the countryside. From a young age, I developed a strong interest in the arts, particularly painting and sculpture. My career in photography began with a small spy camera (a Minolta 16) that my parents had stored in a drawer. I would pretend to be a secret agent like in the movies. Ironically, some aspects of photojournalism do require the skills of a spy to capture the story.
In 1997, I moved to Paris and my brother-in-law lent me my first camera, a 35mm Minolta DSLR. This was when I truly fell in love with photography and began to develop my skills and knowledge through studying at an art school in Paris. In 2003, I moved to Los Angeles and was hired as a news and entertainment photographer. Since then, I have been traveling the world, using my camera to capture life and broaden my perspective.
