EmyWood Creations
It was thanks to the wonderful encounters in my life on the road that I met Emy. At the time, she mainly made jewelry and various small wooden objects that she exhibited at events between two jobs as a graphic designer. A few years and few kilometers later, our paths were lucky enough to cross again in the heart of Berry. (France)
She then became a full-time sculptor and took on larger projects.
A few jobs in the countryside and a few images later, we ended up combining our arts. Emy opened me the doors of her incredible workshop, nestled in the sides of one of the slopes of the Chartreuse, to photograph and film her work. From cutting the trunks to precise cuts, Emy brings wood to life in a unique, graphic and raw universe.

Chicos Locos Clothing
During a hot summer in the heart of the Ardèche gorges, in France, I met the sweet and creative Jill.
Jill began creating clothes inspired by ethnic patterns before launching into slightly more urban and funky creations.. Her goal: Allow you to walk the streets with a unique style, as her creations are limited editions. Formerly made in Bali by the goldsmith hands of one of her seamstress friends on the island, her clothes are now made in Portugal in order to be closer to most of her customers.
Jill likes that her clothes can be worn by everyone. A joy to photograph various models to present her creations.

Ayze Montessuit Famille
My story with the Montessuit family began one harvest morning. Our buckets ready to fill the tanks of this small cellar nestled on the slopes of Môle in Haute-Savoie (France). This vineyard cultivates a unique grape variety in the world: the Gringet. Nicolas and Fabrice Montessuit are passionate, and more than bosses, they ended up becoming friends. They are lovers of the land, good food and sincere relationships.
I can no longer imagine our adventures in the Alps without a bottle of Ayze to share at the summit.
Photographing them in the heart of the land was a way to show them my friendship.

Adventures
Collaborating is also sharing projects, adventures, with the people I love. Create memories of a trip, a hike, a bivouac, and remember these moments a few years later by looking a photo book.
From deserts of Morocco to the peaks of the Alps, I had the chance to meet great people and experience memorable adventures. Always with the camera in the bag. These are also the best times to practice, try new things and take candid images to capture the emotion of these moments.
Canyoning
Accessing the inaccessible, this is what pushes us to rush into canyons. I fell in love with canyoning more than 5 years ago. Spend hours in magical places, hear waterfalls roar, cooperate with partners and build relationships of trust. It makes me tick.
I obviously only take equipment that is practical to transport and inexpensive on these adventures, but it is always a pleasure to bring back some images and some stories to share.
More images of these adventures on my dedicated Instagram account.
Events
Support artists in their practices. Retranscribe the atmosphere of an ephemeral moment. This is also why I love images so much.
