About
For over forty years, photography has been a part of my life, first as a curiosity, then as a necessity, and finally as a profession.
A light, a silhouette, a gesture, a place: everything becomes a pretext for storytelling. Everything becomes a narrative.
Since my beginnings, I have moved forward with the same conviction: to look, to truly look, in order to better reveal.
A Path Shaped by Images
For about ten years, I worked as a photographer for the CIBA-GEIGY France group, where industry intertwines with humanity. I photographed men and women at work, companies in motion, places where precision never precluded beauty.
These were formative, intense, and demanding years—a laboratory of rigor and encounters.
The Paths of Photojournalism
My journey then led me to very different, sometimes challenging, often exhilarating, landscapes.
I followed Michel Crépeau in 1981, during the height of the presidential campaign, crisscrossing France at the pace of his rallies and the anonymous faces I encountered along the way.
I embarked on the industrial trawler Jeannine André, leaving Lorient for the cold waves of the North Sea, all the way to the Faroe Islands. There, the wind, the sea, and the people form a world apart, one that only the photographer's eye attempts to capture.
I walked on the scorching soil of Kourou, in French Guiana, at the foot of the metallic giants poised to launch themselves into the world. Photographing an Ariane launch means photographing the noise, the power, the invisible in the making.
I also worked for the city of Rueil-Malmaison, documenting municipal life during Jacques Baumel's term as mayor—another way of capturing community life, its quiet moments as well as its solemn occasions.
Create, share, transmit
Over time, the desire to share photography became paramount.
This led me to create the Images et Lumière festival in Rueil-Malmaison, followed by Photos en Poésie in Landivisiau, two venues where images engage in a dialogue with the words, gazes, and emotions of the audience.
We founded Studio-Communica in Finistère to support local councils, associations, businesses, and creative professionals. Portraits, landscapes, street photography in Paris, election campaigns, product images… each project is an opportunity to rediscover a fresh perspective.
Studies and detours
Because the image never stops evolving, I trained at the INA (National Audiovisual Institute) in video, editing, and directing, and at CE3P in Vitry-sur-Seine to further develop my photographic skills.
Learning, always—that's also what being a photographer is all about.
Today, I'm opening a few pages of my album here: fragments of stories, reflections of encounters, bursts of light captured over the years.
