It all began with a desire to discover new horizons. Since childhood, I’ve felt the call of the unknown, an urge to explore distant places and connect with people from across the world. Growing up in the French Alps, my imagination was shaped by books, solitary walks on high ridges, and the silent grandeur of the mountains. I always knew that travel would become a central part of my life.

What draws me most is nature at its wildest and purest. The feeling of crossing a high mountain pass to discover a hidden valley, untouched and sacred has always seemed to me one of the great wonders of the world.

Photography came naturally, as both a tool for observation and a bridge to others. During a formative journey through South America, I decided to turn this passion into a lifelong pursuit. The immensity of the Amazon, the lives of its people, the high-altitude deserts of the Andes, the rare minerals glowing in sunlit stone, this overwhelming diversity deeply moved me.

From these experiences was born a desire to preserve and share. I strive to capture those rare, fleeting instants that stir the soul, those jolts in time that feel both fragile and eternal. I see myself as a discreet witness, someone who observes without interfering, who hopes to leave no trace but an image.

This philosophy now guides CIVILIZATION, my ongoing and evolving documentary project. Rooted in the belief that a universal thread connects all human beings, Civilization aims to explore the lives, rituals, and values of communities living far from dominant narratives. Through photography and storytelling, I seek to reveal what unites us, our relationship to nature, to memory, and to one another.

I invite you to explore my work, and I hope you’ll find in these images a part of the wonder I feel when making them.
