what inspired you?
I am inspired by changing scenery and deciphering which elements of the human experience are universal vs. which are specific, individual, and anomalous.
what makes your comfortable in your skin?
I'm most comfortable in my skin with shoes for the occasion and the safety to work from impulse.
A 27-year-old French photographer-reporter and director, he lived in Romania, where he trained in the field in directing. Chance encounters led him to work as a photographer for magazines as diverse as M le Monde, T le temps, Vogue, ID, Regain, and beyond.
what inspired you and where do you find comfort?
I feel the most comfortable and inspired when I meet people. I love that part of the job, making the people feel comfortable and try to catch something real, natural from them.
