I started photography at a very early age. I photographed my surroundings, both portraits and landscapes, using film cameras like the Polaroid. I studied photography on a sandwich course, working in a photo lab where I practiced black and white printing on an enlarger. 2 years later, I worked in a photo agency called Rue des Archives, a French agency that works with the press, publishing, communications agencies, the Internet and television, among others. The agency has its origins in the photographic holdings of the Agip agency. http://www.rue-des-archives.com/fr/login
In 2004, after studying photography, I became a laboratory assistant at Photo Service. Then, in 2005, I worked both at KCS presse as an iconographer (a photographic press agency covering people, social, political and artistic news, http://www.kcspresse.com/) and in an information intelligence company, on a part-time basis, before joining the information intelligence company on a full-time basis, where I still work today as manager.
I work with Polaroids, film and digital. I also like to rework images, even if some series remain raw, others undergo transformations and restructuring.
I do plastic work, particularly on my Polaroids, which I rework to take them out of their usual context and present them in other forms, formats or media. I like to reprint on quality paper, to which I add paint, stickers, ink or other creative techniques for certain series.
The idea is to recycle the original polaroid, dissecting it and sometimes cutting it into different pieces to take it out of its context, its usual state, and present it on ever more original supports. In this way, I meticulously seek out everything that can accompany and enrich the image.
I'm constantly researching, creating and feeding my subjects.
It's poetry that characterizes my images, suspended moments that I immortalize most often in black and white.
