I’m 54, French citizen, and I live in Grenoble – France.
About 30 years after practicing Black&White photography with Reflex and medium-format at University, I’m back to photography, to digital photography.

Three years after, I’m now exploring how reality can be transformed in images standing between reality and imagination/drawings. I first did some experiments in Black&White, with nude portraits. I also practice and love street photography, mainly in south of France, but also in Paris, first in B&W and now more frequently in colors. These days, I’m experimenting with long exposures and/or colors, using a pine-hole camera or software tools that deeply transform reality.
This series of photographs was first born by chance, thanks to a rare winter sun and a beautiful cloudy sky. Its main subject is this wonderful and unique sky, plus the skyscrapers where the sky reflects, and Igor Mitoraj’s extraordinary statues. Then I chose a way to transform the quite sad and dull raw images in some dreamed, unreal, but powerful, images that people like but hardly discover where they were taken even if they perfectly know the place. These photographs were selected by a professional jury for the 2013 “Focales en Vercors” photography festival and exposed in may, and they are now exposed in a cinema theater hall and in the photography and architecture department of a book-shop, both in Grenoble.
