I started taking pictures for my daily job in 2010. Keeping it simple and focused on making illustrative pictures for the websites I was working for.
In 2013, a friend gave me a small film camera, he had received as a heritage. I was very intrigued by the "physical" properties of film and dove into the technical aspect of it: I learned about film developing, darkroom printing...
I gradually realised I was expressing myself, that I was using the daily life of my city to do so, that I loved it and that I was spending almost as much time working than taking pictures.


I then decided to start a project in 2015: document the life of my city. At that time it was pretty vague and I still didn't know street photography was a "thing".
I have since then always carried a camera, learned about street photography and stayed committed to this project I called "Brest la Blanche".
I dipped a toe into photography and it has submerged me entirely.
