I got interested in photography quite young, out of curiosity, then this practice took more and more place in my life until it became my profession.
Freelance photographer, I was also a press photo correspondent for 3 years.
Since 2014 I have also been teaching Photoshop and image creation at the International University of Monaco (IUM).
I also teach at L’École Municipale d’Arts Plastiques in Menton and at Sciences Po, still in Menton.
Finally, I also work for EDAA, an online art school.

VANITY
During my studies I had the opportunity to study Art and to feel immense respect and admiration for the Classical Masters of painting.
“VANITÉ” is a tribute to these artists who discovered everything and passed everything on to us.
Directly inspired by painters such as Caravaggio and De La Tour, in this series I deal with recurring subjects of baroque painting: The alchemist, the Madeleine, dinner at Emmaüs, etc …
Without copying existing works, I immersed myself in these universes to create photos interpreting my vision of these major themes.
With a desire for accuracy, it was essential for this work to have an excellent understanding of the light used by these painters and to be able to faithfully reproduce it in the studio. It took me a year of research to finalize this series which won international awards.
