After practising photography as a hobby since my teenage years, I bought a digital camera ten years ago and set out on new ground, with a different approach. The works of such photographers as Stephen Shore, Lewis Baltz, Alexander Gronsky, Raymond Depardon or Thibault Cuisset have deeply inspired and stimulated me over the past years.
My own work has developed around several topics : urban landscape, rural landscape, industrial architecture, but also all the small things that are around us and which we tend to ignore as they seem trivial, outdated or discarded. My eyes are drawn to these objects or places on the margins of our daily experience because, to me, they feel like points of high intensity.
I envisage each shot in terms of colour and frame, and I remove as much as possible of the superflous and the anecdotal in order to try and picture the essence of what appears to us. The good picture should be self-evident and at the same time deliver complexity ; it should hopefully reveal tensions at work in our environment, generated by frictions or oppositions between past and present, creation and decay, production and desertion or presence and effacement.
