About

Background

Beginnings

I discovered photography during a year in the United States, and with it the ocean, which has stayed at the centre of my work.

Lockdown then gave me the time to practise every day, until photography became my profession.

I started as a freelance photographer in France. Projects then took me to Japan, South-East Asia and across Europe.

Nike

A launch night for Nike.

The project I’m proudest of: photo and video coverage of a Nike launch night, alongside Slam Jam and Exactitudes.

A packed room and a crowd in constant motion. I brought back the portraits, the atmosphere and the film of the night.

Today

I work between Indonesia (Bali) and Japan, and I’m regularly in France.

I handle both photo and video: campaigns, brand films and social content, with a large share of it shot in the water.

Clients include Nike, Universal Studios Japan, Billabong, Morex Custom, 99 Riding Co, El Camp Surf Camp and Driftwood Surf Camp.

I work in French and English, and I travel for each project.
