About me
I am 40 years old, French and I live currently in Cincinnati (Ohio) where I work for a large "consumer goods" corporation. Photography has now been a passion for several years, passion that has been strenghtened by working very closely for a few weeks with my "mentor" David Alan Harvey, Master in photography from the prestigious Magnum Agency.
David has been very kind to show some of my work such as "Reds Fans" on his blog:

Currently, some of my work from the "Over the Rhine ghetto" in Cincinnati is also shown in the "galleries" section of his website:

Beyond David who has clearly been an inpiration for me as a photographer, I particularly admire the work of Alex Webb, another "Master" from Magnum. I got very close to working with him as well but had to cancel a trip at the last minute. I hope I will get a chance to also work with him in the very near future.
I consider myself as a true "Street Photographer". Most of the time, my pictures are the result of me wondering around in different locations, capturing what inspires me, some special moments caught by my "eye". I am showing on this site some of my work from the past 1-2 years, pictures from around the world where I sometimes go for business, and then use a few hours at the end of the day to take a few photographs. I am currently working on a longer term project on boxing in Cincinnati. Some pictures from that body of work are currently shown under "Lords of the Ring".
I hope you will enjoy the site and I look forward to any comments or suggestions. If you like what you see and are interested in having me work on a particular assignment or project, do not hesitate to contact me.
