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,…

I've said this phrase so many times since my earliest childhood. As a native of the magnificent Gard department, my parents introduced me to it at a very early age. This land of the Petite Camargue is very dear to my heart... I…
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. In memory of all those thousands of workers involved in shipbuilding for several generations, who had lost their tools of the trade, with the direct consequence of losing their jobs to shipyard workers…

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. Certainly also, for this book, I wanted to idealize everything that makes their differences, their beauty, their sweetness, their emotions, their power of seduction. I also appreciate this exchange, this trust, even this complicity…

Forms My photographic work is part of a continuous and unprecedented exploration of urban spaces. I am interested in shapes, textures and colors that combine to create my subject. I look for the games created by light and shadows. In my work, my main goal is to offer a fresh look at ordinary things by creating refined and graphic images. I seek the particular point of view, attempting to eliminate…
My 70s It's been a great pleasure to browse through my film files from the 70s. I really enjoyed reviewing my photos from the time when I worked with a rolleiflex that I sold with a Nikon FM to buy a Leica M6 to be like the greats of the time. Back then, you could swap these cameras for another model on sale. Nowadays, I work with digital cameras, which…
Carbonated Zinnias These are an exploration into a new way of shooting flowers, something I haven't seen before. As an experiment, I wondered how these flowers would react to being immersed in a clear carbonated liquid, and it showed me something new and enticing. I then continued to experiment with light and dark backgrounds, and then food coloring added to the liquid.
Glimmer of hope One idle afternoon in 2010, I grabbed my camera and headed out into the garden. In less than half an hour, I took some thirty photos, from which these are taken.

Music teachers took part in the project; as it turned out, they were all women who had dedicated their…
