ABOUT ME

The numerous foreign countries I stayed in during my childhood left me a profound mark, igniting my interest in travel and discovery.
My 4-year stay in Japan that totally immersed me in the japanese culture was decisive, giving me the chance to develop a strong sense for drawing and picture.

After completing a Master’s Degree in Industrial Design in Paris, I started my career working as a product designer for design agencies and joined later the design center of a great mobile phone group in Paris.
As a long term photography enthusiast, and armed with my successful trajectory in the design universe, I decided to make an evolution in my career in 2006 and switched to photography, rolling my two artistic sensitivities into a long-held passion for picture. Since, I’m a full time photographer specialized in still life, lifestyle and travel photography.
My personal pictures evoking daily life, urban landscapes and moods, produce graphical compositions, abstract and intimate.
I’m working for great industrial groups, edition and design agencies, creating pictures that show products in their best light and compositions, while I actively pursuing my passion for images and travel through my personal photography.

Some elements of my photographic work are represented by Anlgle de Vues, Fine Art Photography Gallery (43, rue Louis Pasteur - 92100 Boulogne Billancourt, France) www.angledevues.com
