Photographer and graphic designer, I specialise in event and documentary photography, and layouts. 

As the head graphic designer of Contagious Magazine, in London, between 2005 and 2013 I won the best designed front cover and best designed magazine award, and also won Bronze Andy Award for graphic design.

I have shot photography series for the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and shot their official 2-year 2 ad campaign ‘Great Stories Start in Cannes’.

I was Paul Smith's official backstage photographer for over a year covering his shows both in London and Paris, before moving back to France. 

After 15 years of living in London I settled back in Paris and became the artistic director for DNA group in Paris, which includes restaurants such as Miss Ko, Caphe Hanoi, Paradis du Fruit. 

I've worked a lot in the food industry, as a photographer and graphic designer for renown places both in London and Paris. From shooting events or series for social media, to designing menus or helping shaping up concepts visually.

I have now left DNA group and when I don't shoot or design for clients, I focus on my Moonchild series, as explained here.
