Certains jours, je me sens invisible,
I feel like I’m going to dissolve into fear, sadness and anxiety.

Ces jours-là, je fais des photos,
plus de doute, plus de questions,
juste le moment, la paix et la tranquillité.

For me photography has always been about comfort and contemplation. Finding beauty in my close surroundings is a balancing act in order to survive the social and political turmoil of the world we live in.

Carrying a camera most of the time, I take pictures wherever I am. I don’t look for the exotic or the spectacular. Images appear to me, triggered by the light, colour, shape or perspective, revealing the beauty that often goes unseen.
