where I am coming from... I was born in Paris in 1974, from an Italian father and a Basque mother. In my childoud, I kept playing with my father?s brand new Nikon F2 ! During my studies, I used to go to a photograph club in my home town. One day, I had the opportunity to meet a professional photographer, James Gely. Contact was great. A few weeks later, I contacted him and visited his studio? and then it hit me. I told myself : ?photographer, this is what I want to do in my life !? I was sixteen... ... what I did... Guided through this passion, I entered a professional photograph school in Paris. My first portfolio in hands, I started as a free-lance assistant for professional photographers working in advertising, decoration and in studios such as la Camif, and finally magazines such as ShowBoats int., House & Garden, Conde Nast Traveler, Vogue etc. My passions for boats, photography and mountain drove me to the French Riviera. ... where I am going to... My work fits in the tradition of the different photographer I worked with, in keeping my own sensibility and my own photographic style. After a 15-year experience working with a 4x5 inches camera, I adopted digital technology. Thanks to series of tests and trainings, I have obtained a result at least better than I used to have with the tradionnal large format film, giving a finest rendering of my feeling in atmosphere, rendering in textures, giving me preciselly what I can catch with my eye and I know exactly, when I press the button how the final picture is going to be. I am working for international press and luxury editions, as well as for famous designers and shipyards. My photography masters, as far as light and pictures are concerned are Ansel Adams, Henry Cartier-Bresson, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock.
