The Analog
Analog photography has something unique about it.
A texture, a softness, a subtle imperfection that makes each image even more precious.

Expertise
I work with two complementary film cameras: one for precisely composed images, the other, a point & shoot, to capture spontaneous and natural moments.
This approach allows me to blend intention and spontaneity, resulting in authentic and timeless film images.
a locality
I favor a local approach: my film is developed in Aix-en-Provence, and I also buy most of my film directly from this lab. This allows me to support local expertise while ensuring HD quality and careful monitoring of my images.
Spontaneity
Film photography invites you to slow down and capture the moment as it unfolds. Each shot is deliberate, yet also leaves room for the unexpected. It's this blend of spontaneity and authenticity that gives film images their unique charm.
A freeze in time
Film photography invites you to slow down and capture the moment as it unfolds. Each image becomes like a freeze-frame, both spontaneous and sincere. It is this authenticity that gives film photographs their unique charm.
Why film?
Analog photography touches me for everything it evokes.
First, there are the emotions: those that arise naturally when you photograph without seeking perfection, simply to capture a true moment. Each image then becomes an instant frozen in time, a sincere trace of a moment that will not return.
I also like the slightly aged look of the prints, their colors, their grain, that texture that gives the impression that the photo already has a story. Like a memory that you might have found in a box a few years later.
There's also the spontaneity inherent in film photography. You don't just press the shutter endlessly: every image counts, every moment is felt before it's photographed. This results in more instinctive, more vibrant photos.
And then there's the gesture. The manual side of photography: choosing a roll of film, inserting it into the camera, advancing the film, waiting for development. This ritual reminds me a lot of my childhood, the first cameras we used without really knowing what the images would look like.
For me, film photography is much more than a technique.
It's a form of poetry. A way of looking at the world gently, of slowing down, of feeling.
In a way, it's my own personal poetry.
