TITLE: A Strange Carnival

The annual carnival took place in the city of Nice (France) 7 months after the terrible terrorist attacks in July 14th 2016. We are now on February 2017 and the mood is so weird here. Mixing frightening costumes and characters, numerous security agent and families enjoying the show.
It seems that everybody wants to exorcise what remains from those dark days in 2016.
And finally, carnival is also sharing a particular moment, whatever it is.

Born in 1968. As a psychologist, my daily life is made of human resources. People are an inexhaustible source of surprises. I walk the streets with curiosity to capture what drives us to live, to love, to defend ourselves. My work is a contemporary photography that explores urban territories with or without people inside. My photographs are anyway influenced by humanities.
