Parisian by birth, I worked for 30 years in the field of live entertainment, which inspired me a lot and still inspires me. I like to tirelessly wander the streets of the French capital with a discreet camera in hand. I linger, watch, observe with a particular preference for the nocturnal atmospheres which give rise everywhere to shadows and artificial lights which show or hide, giving to the streets and its passers-by a timeless and theatrical mystery. No wonder my references are called Brassaï, Viavian Maier, Cartier Bresson, Moriyama or Saul Leiter.
