I started photography in 1992, when I bought my first SLR camera. It was a silver model from the Minolta brand. I toasted a lot of film, and I discovered the frustration of the failed photo, facing the sometimes mocking gaze of the gentleman from the photo lab (oops). Being a student, with modest means, I quickly learned to think before shooting ;-)

A few years later, I approached the digital shift with great pleasure! Purists will say that we have lost this thrilling aspect of film photography. I prefer to see the glass half full, and indulge myself by testing several different settings, from several different angles, for the same scene, without having the development cost in mind. Everyone has their own delirium!

Through a few internships and online training, I improved my shooting technique, but also the processing of photos on the computer. I am convinced that these two skills are complementary, and that they must serve the artistic approach. Here is the magic triangle in which I evolve, at my own pace. My favorite fields are (in no order of preference): portraits, landscapes, animals, and architecture. Photographers are often specialized in one area. For the moment, I can't choose... and as long as it lasts!
