Photographer, Retoucher

Born on June 17th of 1978 in Paris' suburbs, I've grown up in a musical entourage, my father is a bass player, used to play trumpet and guitar, a passioned photographer too. That mix of sound and colors has necessarily guided me to arts, reason why I've passed several exams to embrace a carrier in that domain, including drawer for commercials, but that's a domain where finding a job is really tough, and I didn't follow that path, but kept myself really close.

Amateur photographer, my father has always had a camera in his hands, wich probably made me familiar with the image in general, a taste that has grown with my love for the cinema, for sure. I started photography on a lucky coincidence, in July 2011, when a friend of mine told me he was selling his DSLR for almost nothing, his kids were my first models ! Nothing is more frustrating for a parent than seeing his own kids growing up and keeping no trace of it, I'm pretty sure today that it was my most important motivation to start photography.

Today, I'm a professional photographer, but still learning (of course ^^) and try to give as much time as I can to my passion and make it my full time job one time !
