My story, my background

I have been travelling the world for the past twenty years, fascinated by the beauty of the Earth and its peoples.

My work is quite eclectic but my favourite theme is "Ethnicity", highlighting the diversity of peoples. This theme has led me to photograph all the great tribes of the Rift Valley in East Africa, and has taken me to many events, such as the Goroka festival in Papua New Guinea, the Holi festival (festival of colours) or the great Kumbh Mêla in India, Afrika Burn in South Africa and Burning Man in the Nevada desert in the USA, the Mundari cattle camps in South Sudan or more recently the Kuarup ceremony of the Xingu Indians in the Amazon and the famous "Gerewol" in Chad. My exhibition "Sense of Identity" presented by the MRO Foundation during the Rencontres de Arles 2022 highlighted this work.
