Biography

Author-photographer. Trained in journalism, graphic arts and the book trade; graduate of the École Estienne, Paris.

Humanist work focused on health, care around the world, rural life, world heritage and the environment.

Fugues

“Fugues” is part of a long-term photographic journey in which past and present, hope and illusion, passion and derision intertwine. Focused on health, rural life, the environment and life’s great passages, the photographer-traveller, like a general practitioner of the image, looks at the living conditions that weaken individuals and hinder their fulfilment. This is also where the notion of care comes in, not only in the curative sense but in the attitude of “taking care”, which sustains every social group.
