Here are the printed proofs I met interesting people last month with two portraits in "Le Bilan du Monde". Thanks Cathy for your confidence!
3 things to do in 2017 /
For 2017, I wish you the best. What else?
In any case, if you are not satisfied by what 2017 could bring to you, you may stage your very own sunrise.
Naoshima, Kagawa.
Or rearrange the way cities look like.
Asakusa, Tokyo.
And don't forget to bring someone with you in your future adventures.
Shodoshima, Kagawa.

Some Diffracted Beauties /
What have I been up to? Shooting beauty bent with light, on a side project of a bigger one I will show soon. Promise!

Why shoot only a beauty when you can photograph her invisible twin as well?

A seat is always taken, unless it is occupied by thin air. Confucius, right?
What if the most valuable picture you could have was the one you can't see? /
Cryptoglyphe is my side project. It’s a private collection, generated when I explore my hidden photographs and transform them through a self reflexive process into something new. A puzzle game. Recycling? Yes, maybe. Perhaps, It’s my fashion of being green, in thoughs.
I’ll display one cryptoglyphe each month this year, here. The January issue is my way of expressing my greetings for this fresh new year. Have a playful and meditative 2016!

Tribute to the studio corner /
The walls of my ephemeral studio are so old you have to share the room with layers of ghosts. At least they are colorful.
Express Economy /
One of the (many) perks of shooting portraits for magazines: sometimes, you meet interesting people! Yes, you do! Economist, Jesuits,... sometimes they are both!
I have the pleasure to shoot portraits for Le Vif/ L’Express from time to time and recently I had the pleasure to make a portrait of french economist Gaël Giraud. Well, I’m not in any way much educated in political economy and usualy, if the interview happens on the same day as the shooting, I’m preparing my gear and gone scouting while the journalist is working. But this guy was so interesting, I just sat in the room and listened to those unheard point of views in the medias on the economical crisis in Greece. I brought home pictures and some thoughts to chew on.
MarquePage /
If you are in Arles this summer, there is still few hours to see my contributions to HAVASPARIS’s exhibition « MarquePage », during les Rencontres d’Arles. Quite a fun display, like a small stocking place disguised as a WunderKamer, just on the corner of the Forum Square. This is about brands logo meeting titles of books.
Lian Ray /
Lead singer and guitar player of former band rHESUS, Lian Ray could be one of the last rock oddball (perhaps) alive. Definitively an intriguing character whose (beautiful) solo album could set sail to the world anytime, whenever this rare bird decide to let it go. You have press photo, now, let it go...
Sun light sensor /
Visual study on wearable device "June by Netatmo" for boudoirnumerique.com . Is June jewelry? Crack up the volume, press play and find out!

Ink Store /
Dear visitor, today I'm inviting you to help me free my drawer from all those colorful tear sheets prints. Each are lovely birds, gentle and printed on archival paper for optimized long exposure to your contentment and pleasure. Don't wait too long as they are longing to fly to and nest on your walls. I'll give them a little push and a stamp. Graciously.
