Biography

I’m a 38 years old French photographer based in Paris and native of Brittany (Bretagne).

Passion for photography has grown steadily when I was traveling all around the world trying to capture every unforgettable experience he met on my way with a view to collect and share them. I endeavor to enhance each shot to make it unique. For me, Photography is a great way to capture the light of an evasive present time always running away from us. Like Photography, which is in a crossroad of Art and Technique, I’m also drawing since early childhood and have an electrical engineering academic background.

I really started to make photo when I was backpacking around Australia in 2003. At that time I had one of the first digital camera with 2 Mega pixels (It was a Kodak). I also wrote a diary at that time and when I came back to France, I did what is called now a blog! but at this ancient time, Google was a baby and it was considered a waste of time. Then, I started to work in the video game industry and my passion for photography remains just a hobby when I was traveling.

I turned into professional photography randomly early 2012 when Airbnb found me on Flickr and hired him to shoot thousands of host properties all around the world.

Today, I am a travel photographer specialized in destinations and luxury hotels. I am  also an influent travel photographers on social media with about 270,000 followers cumulated (best travel influencer to follow on Instagram according Harper’s Bazaar).
