In 2017, I met the journalist Bénedicte Jourdier. We made our first report "Grand-Baie en sursis". In 2019, after the passage of a tsunami in Indonesia, I made a work on the humanitarian situation after the lifting of the emergency situation and the departure of NGOs. On my return I cover the Yellow Vests movement in the Parisian capital. At the same time, I start to follow the DXE-France association during their investigations in intensive livestock farms. In 2019, I moved to Ramallah in the occupied Palestinian territories to deepen my work on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I made my report in the south of the West Bank, more precisely in the region of Massafer Yatta. In July 2020, I joined the press agency "Zeppelin". In December 2020, at the end of the second confinement, I leave for Sudan with the journalist Eliott Brachet. We worked on the exile of Ethiopians who fled the war and massacres in the Tigray region to take refuge in camps in the Gedaref region of Sudan. This work was selected and screened at the international photojournalism festival "Visa pour l'image". In 2021 I will travel to the Amazon in Brazil to tell the story of the Huni Kuin indigenous people of Caucho.
