Pebble beach

Professional photographer, I am based on the beautiful Reunion Island. Where they say God rests in winter!

My purpose here is not so much to tell you about my background or what I have achieved in my life as a photographer and creative director, but rather to reveal how the image imposes itself on me and more particularly photography. Photography is one of the most authentic means of communication in our modern era. Of course, it is very easy to falsify or to take out of its context an image, it is not in this way that I consider my job as a photographer! In my opinion, a still image must in an instant with what it carries in it, provide a sensation, an emotion, represent the reality of a situation or express the evidence of a moment of life, the truth! Whatever the subject I photograph, a portrait, a landscape or a scene of life, I always make sure that my shutter lets the light in. This light is what makes a scene possible, but above all, authentic. Most photographers will tell you that light is the basis of photography and it's true, but I want to go further and believe that "the art of photography" is to write the light when the moment is offered to you to capture a moment, a situation, a fixed movement or a whole story in a fraction of a second. What would be the existence without this light which pushes to dream, which gives hope, which, if we look with the eyes of the heart gives to see something else sometimes so subtly hidden, how to survive without this light which is and which gives life.

I leave you with this quote from Ansel Adams "There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer".
