I photograph all kinds of bodies to celebrate diversity.
My camera has been with me since childhood. It has enabled me to push my boundaries, cross borders and meet people whose stories were unfamiliar to me.
I worked as a photojournalist for several years, notably for Inkyfada, Orient XXI, Le Soir and Le Point. I worked mainly in the Sahel, sometimes in conflict zones, often in situations of humanitarian crisis.
Now, back in Europe, my focus has shifted towards something more intimate.
I am interested in bodies, identities, the bonds that unite us, and alternative ways of loving and inhabiting the world.
I am deeply inspired by everything that challenges the norm and society.
Although the situation is changing, the images of bodies presented in the public sphere often remain stereotypical. LGBTQIA+ people remain under-represented. As for sexuality, it continues largely to be lived out behind closed doors, making as little noise as possible, so as not to disturb the neighbours.
I want to challenge these assumptions and break these conventions. To ask questions such as:
What is beautiful? Why? For whom? What should be shown? Or hidden? For what purpose?
Through my work, I aim to create a photographic space where bodies do not need to conform to predefined expectations.
A space where the diversity of identities, genders, sexualities, ages and body types can be visible and celebrated.
Trust and consent are at the heart of my practice.
Some of my services, particularly weddings, are governed by a contract.
Before each session, we can take time to discuss the setting that suits each person, their relationship with their body, what they wish to show, what they like or dislike, as well as the location where they will feel most at ease.
My background as a journalist and documentary filmmaker profoundly influences my approach to photography. I prefer to support people in what feels natural to them rather than imposing poses or a rigid artistic direction. I seek to create an atmosphere of trust so that everyone can appear as they truly are.
Consent is an ongoing dialogue: it can be reaffirmed, questioned or withdrawn at any time.
No photographs are published without the explicit consent of the people concerned.
Each person remains free to decide which images may be shown, where and in what context.
For political reasons, I have chosen to no longer be active on social media. I prefer to devote my energy to real-life encounters, in-depth conversations and photography that takes the time to build trust.
This website is my sole showcase. The diversity of bodies, identities and stories presented here will continue to grow as I meet new people and as the years go by.
