" My passion for colour and movement come to me from the photographer Ernst Haas. The liveliness of his eye, his capacity to communicate his emotion through his technical choices and the share of the chance in his images made me aware of the infinite possibilities of expression of photography. Later, the works of Eric Valli, Roland and Sabrina Michaud or Olivier Föllmi, to quote only them, strongly impressed me by the way they describe a culture in all its dignity without any exoticism"
Special field:
I found travel photography fascinating, because it makes it possible to
be in close touch with a culture in all its diversity. That led me to
work architecture and landscape photography as much as the human one.
I also have a passion for the expression of the movement in all its forms.
I still use slide film for my personal work and digital photography, which I have practised since 1998 for assignement and stock pictures. I digitalize myself the slides, using a coolscan V nikon to ensure a tight color acuracy.

Special field: architecture, the detail, the small things which give direction...
" When I work on a report, I tackle my subject without preconceived idea. I do not seek to compose images, I take time to impregnate me, to submerge myself completely into the story. If it is a monument, for exemple, I go round it, many times, with each passing hour, until the good pictures come out of themselves "
