Conceptual Lines

Looking back at my work, I notice that the same questions return, whatever the subject or the medium.

I often come back to the same places. A landscape rarely reveals itself during a first visit. I prefer returning, sometimes over several years, until the place becomes familiar enough for me to stop looking for photographs and simply begin to observe.

The same is true of people. I rarely ask models to perform a role or to reproduce a gesture. I create simple situations and allow improvisation to shape the session. What interests me is not the image I had imagined beforehand, but the one that gradually emerges through experience.

This approach naturally extends to every medium I use. Large-format cameras, panoramic film, digital photography, virtual environments or AI-generated images all require different tools, but they share the same method: spending time, exploring, observing and accepting uncertainty.

My early training in geology and paleoanthropology probably shaped the way I look. I am drawn to traces, to slow transformations, to what time leaves behind on landscapes, bodies and materials. Photography allows me to follow these changes without trying to explain them.

Seen together, the projects presented on this site are less a collection of separate series than different expressions of the same practice. What changes are the places, the people and the tools. The questions remain remarkably constant.
