Photography

Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film...

. He graduated from the Art College of Rouen, France, in 1998.

His artistic process is to work by series, by accumulation of objects and places of the every day life. He attempts to reveal the essence of things and places, by tearing the routine’s viel.
The usual, the repetitive, the monotonous, the ordinary, the useful, all which is subject to be seen, but is not looked for itself, are his territories.

A great part of his work on the mankind and his environment is obtained by wearing out the same area, by trolling along the same spaces continuously in order to observe it and to feel it as well as possible.
This area is also the one where he lives, as a matter of fact these observations are also influenced by his relations with these places and his personal history.
