About

Ma philosophie : transformer les cellules photosensibles de mon appareil en émotion, mais ce n’est pas de la magie, juste de la photographie. Ma voie : être créatif, original, décalé plutôt que de me contenter d’images banales, bateaux, fades. Je veux susciter l’enthousiasme, à travers des clichés aussi uniques que les personnes photographiées.
