The magic of light

As a photographer, I seek to create an abstract form of photography. I specialize in producing portraits in the minimalist environment of a studio. Building on my experience in the fashion and magazine world, I am passionate about presenting the beauty of the human body, stripped of all artifacts; I seek ways to reproduce diverse expressions and forms in creative photography.

I work with artists who share my desire to develop a vibrant and original visual expression. The body is the object of an aesthetic study that aims to create a communicative and creative gaze. With performing artists, such as dancers, actors, and circus artists, we share this search for a revealing vision of the human soul. This research continues with athletes who practice sports such as boxing or martial arts.

My goal is to capture a strong and original temporal expression of the body. I seek to produce an image that reflects the beauty of the human body, in an abstract form and without artifice or manipulation. I seek perfection and simplicity, without distraction: simple linens, pure expression. I want to capture the magic of light and the beauty of the human body.
