Born in France , I lived as a fashion photographer in USA and Canada for seven years until my 29th birthday when I started to travel the world on photographic assignements for magazines. In 1995 I went to India with a challenge to myself: no more color images, no more magazine editors to please, only black and white film in my Leica cameras and the desire to create a meaningfull photo story. After three winters with Indian Sufis, I came back home with photographs from a beautiful side of Islam: "Dargahs, Sanctuaires des Soufis Indiens". A first exhibition of this work took place at the Batha Museum, in Fez Morocco during the Festival of Sacred Music in 1999…
I went to Tibet in 2000 for a few months to walk through the mountains with Tibetan pilgrims. A book: "Pèlerinages Tibétains" was printed in France in 2004.
I am about to publish a book on zodiacal typology featuring nude portraits of 144 women from all zodiacal signs and ascendants.
Some of my images are available for the press, advertising or web use through PictureTank, my agency in Paris.
