TITLE: Le pont de Saint-Nazaire

I regularly cross this bridge; it has always fascinated me. I look at it, admire it, respect it.
It is often photographed, especially in its entirety. Today, I wanted to pay tribute to it and show its heart. I photographed its center; that is where its balance lies.

There are those who follow a well-trodden path… and then there are those who, one day, decide to take a different turn, driven by a spark. For me, it was a light. The light of morning in the Vosges Mountains, in 1985. That day, at a bend in the trail, I discovered two things: the power of a landscape… and the birth of a passion.

Born in 1964 in Moselle, I've always loved challenges. Life has offered me more than one. I built my first career in industry, installing and selling equipment. But every weekend, it was my SLR—a Zenit bought with patience and savings—that took up the torch. The rolls of film flew by, and so did the surprises: the pleasure of a successful shot, the disappointment of a missed opportunity. Film photography taught me patience, observation, and humility.

Years have passed, technology has changed, but my vision remains. Today, I capture light, textures, and emotions with a mirrorless camera. But behind every image, there's always the same quest: to elevate the moment.

In 2018, I took a new direction. I left a stable job for an uncertain dream: to create my own photo studio. To finally pursue what had driven me for so many years.

And I've never regretted it.

Today, I live my passion. Each shoot, each project, is a new adventure, a new story to tell in images.
