Im interested in many things. Thats why Ive done quite different activities before becoming freelance photographer.
After studying history and geography, I decided to specialize into Geopolitics.
On 2003 & 2004, for my researches of Master book, I stayed twice 6 months in Sarajevo. From there I travelled around : went to Croatia, Slovenia, Skopje, Budapest, Praha,
At the same time, I realized my 1st photos reports. The main one : Portraits of Sarajevo was exhibited in different places in Paris and was presented to several photos contests.
On 2005, I travelled to Asia. On February & March, I was in Indonesia, from Jakarta on Java island to Maumere on Flores Island. Then, I spent 10 days in Japan.
Back in Paris, I did an internship as photographer in a web magazine for 5 months. Then, I decided to get fully involved in my passion and to start a photographer freelance career.
Here you can see some photos of my travels :
Photography makes possible to represent in an image all the environment and the one moment emotions. It recalls to the present what was the past ; it shows, exposes, reveals, exhibits Images make it possible events to penetrate our imaginary, to give a consistency to the articles, so that they are not abstract anymore but are identified through faces, matters, an environment...
I have been interested in alternative cultures & music for a long time. After listening mostly to hardtek & hardcore, I fell into Drum'n'Bass, and it has become a passion. I wanted to create my own association, but I wanted to get further than just electronic music events.
Thats why I decided to create an association of European cultural exchanges, Open Yur Mind, to promote artists mobility throughout Europe For us, it is essential to get out of the actual commercial scene and music, to break the divisions and boundaries still existing. We want to sustain these creative movements through the organisation of original artistic events (exhibitions, concerts, parties, meetings) in Paris and different cities in Europe, offering an environment allying entertainment and discovery.
OPEN YÃœR MIND is working in collective with the association TEKAWAY CONCEPT ( www.tekaway.net ) and the web magazine @XE LIBRE ( www.axelibre.org ).
Together, since 2003, we are organising eclectic events melting up cultures. For that, We built a network of partners & contacts throughout Europe & have now some really good connections in several countries.
Since September 2005 I decided to make a photos report about the Drum'n'Bass scene called "FOLLOW THE BASS...". Im trying to be in most of the DnB parties, mainly in Paris, and to make original pics of the DJz & MCs...:
