I was born in 1976 in Paris. Being a social worker in the working-class districts of Toulouse (France), photography is for me a mean to share beliefs and express the helplessness I feel in my daily work. Human nature, the city, cross-cultural matters and commitment are the main topics of my photographic work dealing with them in a contemporaneous and documentary approach. Founding member of the « Du Grain à Moudre » partnership, I only shoot on traditional films due to the aesthetic research it enables (work on matter and grain) and for the temporalness and rhythm it implies. I work for national newspaper (Le Monde, l'Humanité...) and in Artistic's Residency. I won some grant and price (Bourse du Talent, Dotation Kodak, Prix du documentaire du festival Scoop d'angers...) and made some exkibition (Bibilothèque Nationale, Maison de la photographie de Lille, Festival Manifesto, Mois de la Photo...)
