FROM THE ÉLYSÉE PALACE TO THE STREETSPhotography has been part of my life since I was sixteen. Over the years, my way of seeing the world has been shaped not only by the camera, but also by my career in some of Paris’s renowned hospitality establishments.
My journey took me through The Ritz Paris, Le Bristol Paris and St James’s Club, as well as the French Ministry of Defence and the Élysée Palace, where I served during the presidency of François Mitterrand. These environments taught me precision, discretion and an instinct for observing people and details — qualities that continue to influence the way I photograph today.
My work focuses on light, shadow, architecture and the fleeting presence of people within urban spaces — moments that exist for only a fraction of a second.Today, I continue this journey with Streetgrapher, the curated online gallery I founded to discover and showcase other international street and urban photographers and bring their distinctive work to a wider audience.
