Initially, I used to be a classical guitarist. Due to an inability to practice my instrument because of an issue with my right hand, I turned to photography. I have held several exhibitions: in Tulle, Limoges, Brive, Abbeville, and Saint-Robert, and have won a few competitions (Bruxelles Art Vue, Viewbug) and been published in several photography books. Recently, after a contest, one of my photos was exhibited at Casa Abitata (Florence, Italy). T I have two new exhibitions in the works.
