Personal Story
I grew up in the southwest of France and moved to Montreal in 2019. My background is in software development, but creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. Photography started as a personal outlet—something that helped me connect with the world visually, observe quietly, and express emotion through light and form.
In 2019, I hit a creative wall. Photography felt stagnant, and I wasn’t learning anything new. Then I discovered film photography. Learning how to shoot, develop, and scan film brought a whole new energy to my practice. It reminded me how much fun creating can be—and made me realize I wanted to build a life around it.
In 2022, I enrolled in a commercial photography school to pursue that goal seriously. That’s where I discovered fashion and editorial photography—and I fell in love. The emotion, the style, the storytelling—it all clicked. Since graduating in December 2023, I’ve been working as a fashion photographer, creating images that blend mood, aesthetics, and intention.
Collaboration is one of the parts I love most. I’m energized by working with passionate, creative people—stylists, designers, models, art directors—who bring their own visions to the table. I believe the best work happens in conversation, when everyone involved is excited about telling a story together.
As a vegan since 2022 (and vegetarian before that), I care deeply about aligning my work with my values. That’s why I stopped shooting on film in 2024—recognizing its environmental impact and lack of compatibility with a cruelty-free lifestyle. I’m mindful about the clients I work with and the way images are made, and I’m especially drawn to conscious brands and ethical fashion.
At the heart of my practice is a love for texture, shape, and light—and the stories they can tell. I want my images to feel alive, thoughtful, and modern. But more than that, I want people to work with me because of who I am: someone who brings care, collaboration, and intention to every project.
