With an approach combining portraiture, light work and experimental photography in order to create cinematic and intimate images, I tried to document and tell through the lens the dreamlike escape of my friends and the people surrounding my everyday life.
« Daydreaming » is a collection of these moments : a series of portraits created out hypnotics lights, abstracts textures or landscapes, and fading faces, which convey feelings of nostalgia and melancholy, capturing people lost in their thoughts and dreamy memories.
Working exclusively with film photography, I tried to bring layered meaning to these images through using a process of double exposure and analog experiments. More than just a simple camera manipulation, each photograph is created out of shots taken separately within time and space, made along the way of my travels and meetings.
Between dreams and reality, I like to see these moments suspended in time as an invitation to private contemplation and inner wanderings : a daydreaming experience.
