Losing the North Diptychs I was born in northern France, where I lived from childhood until I was 19, in a small working-class town between slag heaps and glassworks. Sixteen years later, when my daughter was born, I returned with my camera to capture the faces of those who had never really known me as I was. My country, my family, our otherness.

Shipyards For a long time, I thought about how I could tackle this subject, which was close to my heart, but which I found so difficult to tackle in a rational and, if possible, original photographic study.

Quatre Instants de Nudité / Four Moments of Nudity I have been taking photos with models, mainly female, for a very long time. Why only photos of women? Surely because women are a great source of inspiration for me.

I also appreciate this exchange, this trust, even this complicity…

My researches and my involvement with associations have led me into difficult terrain, such as minor prostitution and forced labor. So…
Rejected items in a second Life I am Ploutarcos Haloftis, a Greek photographer based in Athens. My work “REJECTED ITEMS IN A SECOND LIFE” is the digital equivalent of my earlier works with analog film.
