Landscape
Find the best time and point of view to take the desired photo. I generally work in color for landscape photography. However, to get the most out of certain scenes, I use black & white.
Street life
Wait for the good moment to find the perfect balance in the composition and find the best light and perspective. I mainly work in black & white for street photography.
Wild life
Patience, patience and calm ! After hundreds of tries, suddenly you get it : the photographic gem of a wild animal.
Architecture
Architecture is the best opportunity to work on lines, symetries, shapes and light.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you photograph other things?
Yes, of course. It could be social or personal events, monuments, objects…
Do you edit your photos?
I shoot in RAW then I edit my photos to magnify the scene. But there is always a limit in this. My rule is to improve the photo by subtle changes and never fall into the trap of over-editing.
Do you have any photography studio equipment?
I have flash lights and light modifiers for studio photography.
Did you win any contests?
I have on occasion submitted some of my photos to professional photography contests and I have already been awarded in several international competitions.
Who inspires you as a photographer?
I’m very interested in paintings and have learned a lot about composition rules from them. Especially chiaroscuro painters (Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Georges de La Tour…). They are a big source of inspiration for me. I also like the realism of some painters like Millet, Courbet, or Repine.
Obviously, there are a lot of photographers I admire like Willy Ronis, Fan Ho, Sebastiao Salgado, Hermann Landshoff, Elliot Erwitt, Cartier-Bresson and his “Decisive moment”, Ansel Adams, Brassaï…
