Free-lance photographer since 1999. Born in Strasbourg, France - 1973.12.20.
I dedicated the past few years to book publishing and long-term projects around my place of residence such as
The Poetics of the Ruins and The Eternal Recourse, another work in progress centered around the forest as an
inner citadelle (or refuge).
