I worked on the search for expression with my models, based on the “peripheral sight”, the state which both human beings and animals would adopt in face of danger. Through the sessions, new feelings appear… the spontaneous primitive reactions when facing unexpected events in life. In the series “Histoires…” (work in progress) set with strong film directing aspects (I love Greg Araki, Terence Malick, David Lynch ...). Now, I am exploring new things with my Chimera. Life is a dream... a lie ... ... photography is a lie ... she transcribed as part of a reality. What the photographer wants to suggest. Of the scientific object to the artistic work, photography is primarily a personal vision about a personal speach. When seeing things too much, one often forgets to look at them. Life is a dream... a lie ... ... photography is a lie ... I undress and it’s beautiful.

THE DAY I LEFT PARIS After several years of taking pictures in the streets of Paris, I moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in 2009. The departure from Paris created this series, putting a stop to an incessant flow. I call it “The day I left Paris�. These are instantaneous black and white photos from the street. The focus is on people, caught as directly as possible in a given moment. From the beginning it was street photography that interested me. I discovered William Klein, Raymond Depardon, Richard Kalvar. The streets of Paris became my playground. I never took a course in photography, and I never took an interest in pure technique. I used the city to teach me the specific body language of confronting people and situations in the street. Since the beginning I have been using film. It helps me to develop an unconscious and creative approach of the situations I face in the street by separating the photographing process from the image control. The waiting period, the imposed passivity, between the moment of the photo to the discovery of the picture, nourishes the images in my head. It is the fantasizing that drives me towards new pictures.

douleurs et caresses des sens Here is a vision of love in human relationships. By the aesthetic beauty of the body, softness and both a strength by some physical acts but also the colors of fire. Romantic relationships are presented as a sadomasochistic act. We like but we are not always loved, so we suffer and we let ourselves wither to get to the disillusionment. Even so, despite the trouble we always return to this spiral for a new story. They are all different but are the same evil, to be one day achieve the grace of serenity. This search for a love created by all that surrounds it. The principle of sadomasochism is through a first state of suffering to attain a sensitivity and then ten times the fun. Here the act is not necessarily shown but suggested by the object, the whip and chains. Attachment chains, locks of love, feelings inked deep into our chests and our hads struggling to break free. The relationship is presented to its climax. Some sacred is here shown, and a certain devotion and the search for absolution in the quest for love. A very different idea for all, a personal vision and ephemeral. This suffering is born it is no utopia? A search of an ideal non-palpable that leads either to failure. But the strongest, like a phoenix, the resurrection is always held because life does not stop in front of a tsunami being shoved it does, then gets up and we leave on a crusade

After-hours The Sun’s already set. Market people went to bed, buyers and sellers, everybody, almost. Only the sound of wooden-branch brooms can be heard while are handled by the last mohicans of the city’s cleaning service to remove the debris remained after a business day. Same story, night by night. It’s when the half-mannequins reveal all their secrets, without any restrain.
