WHO AM I ?

I AM A FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER AND AN ART DIRECTOR.

Having begun my career as a graphic designer and art director in the world of fashion and luxury.I was fortunate to cross paths with some of the greatest photographers of our time, including Sarah Moon, Richard Avedon, and Paolo Roversi. It was through their mentorship that I discovered my passion for fashion photography.

I realized that a picture does not necessary "steal" as they say, it gives as well. 

“PHOTOGRAPHING IS ALIGNING THE HEAD, THE EYE, AND THE HEART.”

Henri Cartier-Bresson

When I am not busy as a fashion photographer, I enjoy travelling to remote corners of the globe to capture the raw beauty of nature and the intricacies of different cultures.

I strive to capture those fleeting moments, the changing light and the captivating landscapes.

My role as an artistic director allows me to blend different mediums, such as landscapes and portraits, text and still life, to create vibrant and memorable scenes.

It is this versatility that has allowed me to create something special into the world of wedding photography, where I have been able to apply my cornerstones: fashion, reportage, travel, graphics and above all human, to tell your unique story in a way that is both elegant, emotional and timeless.

AN ETERNAL TRAVELER AND ARTIST

I split my time between Paris and Rome, living between two amazing capitals of art nurtures my creativity as a wedding photographer. I appreciate the contrast between the ethereal light of Paris and Caravaggio's dramatic colors and I love both discovering hidden gems of Renaissance in Rome and strolling along the Quais de Seine.

Without false modesty, I am super friendly wedding photographer, and I'm known for having helped my bride and groom and even their grandparents feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera in less than 5 minutes. What matters to me is to create a climate of trust and complicity.

Beyond being your wedding photographer, I strive to be your accomplice - the one who will accompany you and your loved ones on your magical day.

“ My aim is to create images that are full of emotion and elegance, capturing the timeless beauty of your special day and ensuring that your memories will stand the test of time.”

A FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER

I am a fashion photographer and former artistic director from Paris.

After working for years in the luxury and fashion industry for such high-profile clients as Cerruti, Elie Saab, Louis Vuitton, Moncler, Nina Ricci, Off White, Sonia Rykiel, Valentino, Viktor and Rolf – to name but a few, I found myself yearning for fresh experiences.

Drawing on my years of experience in the visual arts, I started my career as a wedding photographer inspired by the idea of 

“ linking my cardinal points: fashion, reporting, travel, graphics and above all human connection.”

During the couple's photo shoot or elopements, I approach the session as if it were a fashion editorial, crafting a series of images that are both timeless and elegant. Together, we will define your vision and work collaboratively to create a bespoke photo shoot that aligns with your aesthetic preferences. By thoughtfully curating each element of the shoot, from the lighting to the location to the wardrobe, we will capture images that are truly unique to you as a couple.

Drawing on my extensive experience of capturing fashion and runway shows, I have honed the skill of coaching clients on how to strike a pose with grace and confidence, resulting in stunning, sophisticated, and stylish portraits.

My images can be found in a wide range of publications, such as ID, Wad, Crash, Numéro, Self Service, Love, Double, V Magazine, Dazed and confused, Hobo, King Kong and many more.

AN ALBUM EXPERT

What is a wedding without an album? In this digital age of dematerialization, one wonders what will become of your photographs after twenty years. What legacy shall you leave for your offspring?

An album is truly the medium that chronicles your story through layout and rhythm. It bears no resemblance to independent photographs that are retrieved from an online gallery.

“ It is the visual narration of your wedding.”

As a former artistic director, I am deeply invested in this subject.

I have meticulously searched and experimented with various formats, papers, printers, and am exceedingly proud to present unique, fully personalized albums in big formats such as a luxurious magazine or an art book.

In my most exclusive album, I go to great lengths by perfecting each photograph, as I would when working on high-end magazines or advertisements, utilizing sophisticated beauty retouching techniques.
