Bio

I photograph what surrounds me. What I feel, rather than what I see. I often find what I’m looking for in the shadows. A light, a silence, a detail others might overlook. My images are not staged. I walk, I observe, I take my time. I photograph what slips between things. Landscapes, walls, flowers, heat, wind. I’m not trying to document — I want to convey a feeling. Some series are more abstract, others more grounded in reality. But all stem from a physical, almost vital need to slow down. To look differently. To breathe. I work exclusively in digital, including with a pinhole-style lens for certain series. Blur, deep blacks, burnt textures, white voids — these are choices. They speak to what we can’t control. To climate. To fragility. To the living world. My prints are offered in limited editions, on various materials. I favour simple formats, matte papers, minimal framing. I’m not interested in creating luxury objects, but rather images one can live with. I live in Switzerland, though I am also French. My work has been shown in Geneva, Paris, Athens, and in the U.S., and published in several photographic journals. Some series have received awards, others have remained unseen. That’s not what matters most to me. I am represented by Galerie Fahid Taghavi in Geneva, and a selection of my series is permanently presented by Corridor Elephant. What I aim for is to strike a chord.
