I m a film maker and photographer,
Born in Paris, I left France at the age of 16 to discover the United States. Two and a half years later, I was admitted at the American University of Paris and at the Parsons School of Design and graduated in Graphic Design and Photography. Then came my first major photo reportage on war crimes in Kosovo (World Press nomination)... then the first fashion shoots for the UK magazine “The Face”. In a natural way the still photographic images started to move. I then produced and directed films on topics that I found fascinating: Salvadorian gangs, “reggae men” of Kingston, apnea… In the meantime, french producers had commisioned me around thirty documentary films (52 min), translated and broadcast worldwide on documentaries chanels. My latest project which is still under way is a photo and video documentary that is a result of 12 years of filming about the underground life of a French rock band: LA FEMME. In 2016, i directed DEEP; my first TV serial, sold in 17 countries.
