Born in Marseille, France, I went quite a long way before getting to photography.
Music was my first love. I used to play bass with rock and pop bands, while studying electronics.
In 1980 with a friend of mine, we launched the very first professionnal recording studio of the region, «Studio de l'Etoile», then a private radio station that went very popular : «Radio Star».
In 86, the discovery of the trades of communication and Image challanged my professionnal life.
Within a large financial company, I started studying the DTP (Desktop publishing), as well as the video and graphics and ultimately became creative executive in the communication department.
In January 1992, I had a breakthrough : what if I tried Photographic Art !
Thus I began to photograph each and every thing with more or less success. Tough lesson! It is not enough to have eyes to see, you have to learn how to see.
In March 1993, I made a determining meeting, Christian and Jean-François of the store photo Light Foch. They gave me the oppurtunity to make my first stereotypes in studio with models. It was the second breakthrough. In their studio, I learned how to operate the gearing, the flashes and how to model the light.
I invested heavily in photograhic material. I made books for dozen of models, my prefered work being in the studio. In 1999 and 2000 I was the official photographer of the «Elite Model Look PACA Languedoc-Roussillon and Corsica», and made books for the winners. I received my first commanded work of photographs.
Since 2001, still working as a creative executive, I began my series of personal shoots with the idea to develop series of artistic nude and publish, one day, my first book of photographs.
