After working as a director, I started to take an interest in photography and writing. Essentially for the freedom and autonomy that these professions can offer us. Today, I devote all my time to it. Going to meet others, animals, discover the architecture of big cities, nature have become my daily life. I exhibit all over Europe and settle where adventure calls me. My starting point is in Paris. For some time I have been moving towards social issues that go against human rights and nature. Topics like freedom or deforestation.
My project on the theme of hope is based on photos that artistically highlight a hope for freedom from the last few years impacted by covid 19. The faces are turned towards light, towards hope , leaving behind us these dark moments. These photos represent usual scenes of life that were prohibited during confinement. The only places where you could move freely were on the roofs.
