A squirrel clings to the trunk of an old oak in the Parc de Sceaux, a nut gripped firmly in its mouth. Its bright eyes lock onto mine, frozen mid-moment in curiosity. Spring’s soft light filters through the fresh green canopy, casting a gentle halo around its silhouette. The forest breathes with color and life, framing this quiet, intimate encounter in a perfect blend of nature and stillness.

Curious about the world around me, I am an eternal learner. My scientific training as a geophysicist and my long-standing interest in art, literature and poetry inspire me to observe the world through my camera.

My scientific background has given me a deep understanding of the natural forces that shape our Earth, and it enriches my approach to photography, allowing me to reveal the magic hidden behind every landscape, every rock, and every cloud.

Inspired by the masters of painting who mastered the art of chiaroscuro, I seek to create images that capture the very essence of light and shadow.
