ABOUT

I am a portrait and fashion photographer based in Barcelona; a city that felt like home long before I officially moved here. Today, this is where I develop my work, while traveling regularly to France and beyond, wherever projects take me.

Born in Paris in 1994, I have always been driven by curiosity and the need to tell stories. After studying anthropology, my travels took me from Australia to Southeast Asia, before photography revealed itself to me in New Zealand. I honed my craft in Montreal, specializing in studio portraiture, then embarked on a van journey across North America, refining my approach between vast landscapes and urban scenes.

My vision draws inspiration from Robert Doisneau, Peter Lindbergh, and Sebastião Salgado; balancing artistic direction with the raw authenticity of a fleeting moment. Whether in a studio or outdoors, I strive to capture the essence of each individual, revealing presence and hidden strength.

A session with me is more than a shoot; it’s an experience, a moment to pause and rediscover yourself. A space where you see yourself in a new light, in ways you never expected. Because photography, to me, is about unveiling what was already there and bringing it fully into the light.
