About

I like to shoot faces and places and it all began in Paris when I first picked up a camera.Fascinated by light & color, I chose to travel around the world and eventually settled in LA where the California lights, vibrant colors and colorful people convinced me it's the right place to live. I still like to travel and will happily do so as I continue to build my commercial collection of portraits and active lifestyle.My background as a photojournalist and underwater photographer taught me to look around me and capture moments to build stories. I love to mix authenticity and creativity to give my images the strength, contrast and saturated colors for use in editorial as well as for my commercial work. I also like to find the best location for every portrait, to match people and the environment. My goal is to make great images that are pleasing to myself and to my clients.
