About me
Biologist by training, environmental activist and self-taught photographer. My trihedral personality can be summed up in these three definitions. Passionate of portrait photography and artistic nude, I exploit the camera as a tool for self-analysis. In a world threatened by climate change and collapsing ecosystems, I seek catharsis in my images. Images that are thus meant to be a physical manifestation of the climate anxiety that permeates the people of my generation.

Publications
The Opéra Magasin, Volume XII, 2024 Issue : Ætherum.
ÆTHERUM - as if fueled by the divine energy of the ether, the current edition of The Opéra paves the way to the secret thoughts, desires, and dreams that lie dormant within every human body. In this kaleidoscope of sensuality, the nudes transcend the human body as a physical shell and tell stories of vulnerability and intimacy, but also of self-empowerment, strength, and beauty. ÆTHERUM brings together work by established photographic artists and up-and-coming talents.
Casa mia ha un sapore di mandorle
My bool “Casa mia ha un sapore di mandorle” (“My house has the taste of almonds”) is published and available. Thirty images and thirty texts created over four years to talk about solastalgia, eco-anxiety and environmental collapse through a poetic and lyrical (and at the same time deeply political) prism.A project that came about thanks to the invaluable help of Mathieu Néouze and the association Une chambre à soi. Printed and crafted by the skillful hands of the Ateliers Escourbiac, this book has been printed in a limited number of 200 signed copies. Want to know more?
