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. I look at them today with tenderness,…

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?

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

I moved shortly after, and another…
Seen on the Corridor Éléphant website this portfolio by Bruno Dumas. He writes : How to explain, or even develop meaning in a speech where just the second is the most important.

Forty years have passed,…
