Born in Poligny (Jura) in 1960.
I was a school teacher between the ages of 18 and 35 and then studied psychology.
I am now working as a psychologist-psychotherapist in Besançon (Doubs).
When I was a child, Tintin gave me the desire to travel.
In the 1960s, Paris Match, a magazine I leafed through at my grandmother's, aroused my interest for photo reports.
From that period, I still have a vivid memory of pictures from the Vietnam War and of the tension I could read on the faces of civilians and soldiers.
At the age of 17, I bought my first reflex camera and traveled to places where I started taking pictures-USA, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Thailand, Greece, India...
In 2013, I took up photography again and I have been nourishing my practice with reflections, training, research, and critical exchanges since. Humanity, encounters, connections, links that unite, and emotions are the main themes at the heart of it.
Throughout my photographic journeys, my main motivation is to be part of the moment, to feel the street, to feel life, to give tangible form to a movement, a look, an emotion.
Since 2016, I have been carrying out a project entitled “Once upon a faith” which aims to seize the intensity of a moment of faith and to capture the collective or individual—sometimes very personal—emotions which are peculiar to sacred places. Behind this title is a theme which can take an infinite number of forms, depending on religions and places of worship and pilgrimage.
