Regrouped under the title "Instants of Latency", the photographs of this work focus on the numerous moments made of "nothing", that we are all close to without even noticing them anymore. The goal here is not to reveal a sudden unexpected action, or catch a decisive moment, but in contrary to concentrate on the non-instant of latent moments.
Whatever it takes place within a large metropolis, in urban periphery, or even at home, these are as many scenes looking pointless at first glance, that we learned to forget. However they stick to us every day. This works focuses on this banality, to offer a new look on the fragile and poetic beauty of moments we don't see. Until these unknown landscapes turn out actually very familiar...

Born in France in 1980, I have been interested in art photography for long.
My first works and exhibitions focus on abandoned places for their graphical and organic interest. More recently I tend to develop some more personal researches, with more conceptual and staging photographies.
