A very strong feeling appears inside of me : to witness as honestly as I can of what I see. This is the way my modest Canon 550D followed me throughout my trips in the Middle East, via India, Tunisia or Amazonia. </p> <p> My studies in Philosophy and Political Sciences in the Sorbonne (Paris) contributed to my growing passion for field research and photo-journalism.  </p> <p> The photography is a vector which allows me to show the beauty and the irony of a humanity which binds us.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Capture_d__cran_2017-01-29___20.49.43-1485719396" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/388242/Capture_d__cran_2017-01-29___20.49.43-1485719396.png"></p> <p> Musician since my teenage years, I discovered many artistic fields in a burst of curiosity to find a way through combining these passions into one main activity: the management of artistic projects. I’ve been lucky enough to travel in France and abroad, from Toulouse to Montreal, via Granada and Seville. This passion followed me from my studies in Languages (both English and Japanese) to Management of artistic projects.</p> <p> By supporting innovative projects such as IRAN INSIGHT, or even by performing with them such as <a href="https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/chapo-a-l-artiste?ref=search" target="_blank">CHAPO A L'ARTISTE</a>, I devote myself to give to the notion of human a center place during performances, between Art and Technology.</p>
