Beside my personal work, i'm focused on photography assignments : I'm engaged in stage photography, portraits but also in corporate, food, fashion and documentary. And l also work in educational environnement.
I’am the co-founder, with writer Sébastien Louis, of Offside Productions, about Football & Fans. We produce documentary photography and video stories on passion of football in the world with a special focus on Ultras mouvement culture. The series Ultras Youth is an unprecedented international discovery of Ultras football fans culture, one of the major currents of radical fandom and a youth movement born in Italy in the late sixties.

In its vast galaxy, it feeds and configures popular passions, while constituting itself in a gigantic globalized economic and financial sphere. The aim of this project is to collect and tell stories related to football as an invention of everyday life.
