Photographer | director, whose commitment has been manifested in several edited books (Left for dead, Au bord du monde, Histoire de vivre, face à elle, Homo artifex). This commitment, both artistic and social, marks a recognized independence of mind and an ethic, linked to the responsibility of one's work, as well as the freedom to create without integration into a restrictive economic framework and outside of any institutional affiliation. who would be able to reduce its requirements. This attitude has its price and commands admiration. These various aspects make him an artist whose talent has been underlined, especially when his images have portraits or the natural and social environment as their subject. This talent does not at all make him a specialized portrait painter to whom one resorts or a photographer whose images are agreed. It takes few words to designate this talent: a gift that knows how to capture the emergence at the right moment, that is to say at that unexpected moment that we are still waiting for and that we will wait for a long time to come once the fleetingness of the impression appeared to us and reappeared.
