I am a 61 years old amateur photographer living in France but in the suburbs of Geneva (Switzerland). I only started to use a "real" camera, which my father lent to me, at the beginning of 2016 ; (I had previously used a simple smartphone for photography). I later acquired a Canon EOS5D MarkIV to be able to use all the lenses that my father bequeathed to me. As an architect, I am particularly attracted by buildings or bridges with strong contrasts, colours and interesting details. I try to create well balanced compositions with light and shadows and this book is a selection of my favorite photos of architecture, mainly taken in Geneva but not only. Most of them have already been published by Camerapixo Editions but I found interesting to bring them together in a single book, as a reminder of my work during these almost last 3 years. All my gratitude to Artur J. Heller and Anetta G. Heller for their continuous support, always good advices and to make this book possible in excellent conditions. Also a special thanks to my friend and mentor, Kevin Holliday, for his encouragements and the way he shows me the road to excellence.
