About

Bio

I am a 37 year old French photographer living in Bristol, UK. Photography really is a passion and I try to take pictures as often as I can but having a day job sometimes gets in the way 😉

I am also a CAA-certified drone pilot (A2 CofC), allowing me to fly my drone commercially in the UK.

Don’t hesitate to contact me for any potential work I could help you with and I will do my best to help you realise your vision.

Genres

I am mostly into landscape, nature and astrophotography as you probably know if you have been looking at my portfolio. I also really enjoy travel photography, wildlife photography and the occasional video.

My Story

I took my first shot with a DSLR camera 10 years ago when I borrowed my brother’s camera and rented 2 lenses to go on road trip in Australia. At that time, I just wanted to bring back nice holiday pictures but as I kept shooting I realised I really enjoyed the experience of looking at the world through the lens.

A few weeks after coming back home, I decided to get myself an early Christmas present and bought a camera with a kit lens. Since then, photography has really become a passion and I have been learning, improving and shooting as much as possible. It is slowly helping me develop my creative side, open my eyes to what is around me, get a different perspective and focus on the beauty of this world.
Engineer by day, I spend a lot of my free time shooting, exploring and travelling. I also spend a substantial amount of time editing photos, looking at online photography tutorials and other photographers’ work for inspiration and improvement.

I think the best way to learn is to always try new things. Astrophotography is something I have really been enjoying for the past few years and ever since I bought a star tracker, the possibilities have become endless. I have upgraded my astrophotography kit a few years ago to include auto-guiding capabilities, giving my the opportunity to do really long exposures of deep sky objects.
