I'm a self-taught photographer and videographer based in Paris. I capture the visual and emotional essence of every moment, highlighting clothing, accessories, and artistic creations. Fueled by an artsy sensibility, I love to craft a story around each shoot or film and bring it to life through retouching and color grading. From fashion shows and Paris Fashion Week to private events and lifestyle shoots, I aim to create work that feels intimate, vibrant, and cinematic, collaborating with brands and clients to tell compelling visual stories.
