Street, travel, and everyday photography

Hey there! Welcome to my portfolio. I hope you'll find some interesting pictures here — something that makes you smile, or stop for a few seconds.

I don't do photography for a living, but I take it seriously. I discovered a few years ago how much I loved the whole process. It started in 2023, during a three-month stay in New Orleans with a shiny second-hand Fujifilm XT-4 and I've never looked back.

I tend to photograph whatever happens to be in front of me that I find interesting — which, after a few years of practice, seems to be: people in the streets (bonus points if they're doing something ridiculous or awkward), and quiet, meditative situations. I also like everyday moments, stuff so ordinary that most of us don't think to make a memory out of it.

And trees. I like trees.

I love chasing details at street level, discovering them afterwards during editing, or connecting hidden dots when making a photobook.

On this site you'll find a selection of what I think are my best photos (I can be wrong, of course! It's hard to judge your own work!). I have a Substack where I regularly publish a selection of my newest pictures — the curation is looser, but the process matters to me, it helps distill the work and the thoughts. I'm also on Instagram because it's almost mandatory nowadays, but I'm definitely not a big fan of pictures on a phone (it's too small! Seriously, photos need a bigger space).

I also published my first zine in 2026. It's a selection of 27 pictures taken in 2024, called Poétique du détail, printed in 50 copies. If you know me personally, I'll happily give you one for free — just ask next time we see each other! If we don't know each other, I will be glad to send you a copy for the cost of shipping.
