My work questions our relationship to the visible. Beyond the dialectical relationship between photography and the pictorial arts, photography shows that color is a subject in itself. In a photograph, all trace of reality is dematerialized and returned to the state of colors organized on a surface. Since 2008, I have focused my work on the process of shooting, using the digital camera as a tool to manipulate color, without retouching the images. By working this way, each photograph carries within it the intention and the actions that produced it.
My social identity states that I am French, that I was born in 1973, and that I live and work in Paris.
