A Mediterranean photographer’s path
I live in a small fishing village on the Mediterranean. In this remote, untamed place I find the energy that drives my work. I have a nomad’s soul: always moving, drawn to elsewhere, alert to the invisible passages between worlds. I need to feel like a stranger for the magic of the moment to happen.
After travelling the world with a film camera on my shoulder for documentaries, I traded it for a stills camera, and a new kind of freedom. At the heart of my photographic path is a long commitment to the Moken, the sea nomads of the Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar, whose visual memory I keep alongside a team of ethnologists led by Jacques Ivanoff.
A photographer near Toulon for more than fifteen years, I founded L’Œil des Cyclopes to work with companies and institutions across Provence. Alongside it, I pursue personal projects essential to my way of seeing: ethnographic assignments with the Moken for the British Museum, minimalist series in the Cyclades, film festivals.
From corporate photography to ethnographic fieldwork, this portfolio sits on the border between documentary and art.
