About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I love taking photos of beautiful people and places and events all over the world!

ABOUT ME

Born in France, I moved to Montreal in 97 to study there and then moved back to Paris from 2000 to 2003. I'm back living in Montreal since 2003.

I love my job as a photographer and I live my adventures through the eye of my camera, always looking to find the most amazing places and people to photograph.

I love to stay fit and active, I enjoy cycling; running semi-marathons and inline skate whenever I can. I practice yoga regularly.

My friends would tell you I'm generous, straightforward, honest, punctual, laid back, open and sassy.

I also have shared custody of my 5 years old kid.

PHILOSOPHY

I love spiritual, generous and non-judgmental and open people.
