I am a naturalist & documentary photographer, an expedition guide and a journalist born and raised in Lyon, France. I took my father’s camera as I was a young child and did not set down a camera since.
I am focused on the human relationships to the Earth’s Polar Regions.
I always felt attracted to the polar regions. I discovered the Arctic at 22, and immediately knew I was at the right place. From this time, I traveled a lot both to the Arctic and Antarctica, as a photographer through my personal photographic projects and on an expedition ship, and as a polar guide.
As a photographer and writer, I am dedicating my life to a better understanding and protection of our planet’s remote places and wildlife by sharing their stories, as well as the stories of people whose lives have been shaped by them.
My work has been exhibited internationally (Bolivia, USA, Germany, France) and has been featured in many publications, including National Geographic and Paris Match. In 2017, I integrated the photo agency Naturimages.
As an expedition guide, I will share with enthusiasm my passion for the inhabited regions, the wildlife and the issues of locals leaving of the visited areas.
Feel free to contact me for any question or to ask for a quote to order a fine art print!
Photographer member of the photo agency Naturimages
