I photograph what is felt, even before it is seen.
Because I don’t look to capture, but to receive.
I listen to what moves around us,
what seeks to emerge,
what comes before the image.

My practice began in the street 
in free movement, unpredictable light, attentive waiting.
That’s where I learned to look without interrupting,
to listen with my eyes,
to let things reveal themselves as they are.

Today, I photograph intention 
in its discreet, living, and fleeting form.

I work in black and white.
Not for stylistic reasons,
but to focus on what matters,
to reduce visual layers,
and let the essential come through.

My work begins well before the image.

I work with those who want to show what they bring to life,
not just what they create.

I collaborate with artisans, artists, companies, collectives,
editorial or institutional projects.
I observe, I listen, I research.
My experience in human and complex contexts has taught me to read reality on multiple levels:
the visible, the gesture, the intention, the space, the story, the role.

What I seek to reveal:
A gesture in the making,
a lived-in space,
a glass of water in the light,
a discreet but present intention.

I also create portraits — on site, in the street —
always rooted in their context.
Never frozen.

I work the way I observe:
with human coherence,
and attention to what moves through.

If you'd like to share what you bring to life, I'd be happy to talk with you.
