Travel nominee

This body of work was taken in Greenland last September. This expedition made me feel like the travellers from another time. At a time when you can go all around the globe so easily, the notion of travel itself loose part of its sense. Going to Greenland is still an expedition (I had to take 3 planes and a boat in order to get there). You can really feel the travel itself. I didn't expect to see soccer field there most of all a massive one in a small village. I’m not too much into soccer but I think that even I would love to play in such a surrounding. I love the contrast between the green of the fake plastic grass and the rest of the picture. But most of all I find those images surprising. Very often when I take a picture, I feel it's been done before. "Nothing new under the sun"... But this green soccer field in front of the icebergs is something unexpected: I had never seen it represented before. I guess it's part of going to a very remote and difficultly accessible land: to find the unexpected.

After a master in Philosophy of Law in Paris, I went to London to study cinematography at the London Film School.
I spent ten years working as a DOP in very various projects (music video, documentary, commercials, short films…). Over the last few years, I started focusing more on still photography. I worked for a year and a half for a website, lebazarfrancais.com, doing all their visuals. I quit last winter, wanting to be able to spent more time focusing on a personal approach of photography.
I’m starting now to show my work as a photographer. I’ve been selected on online contest as shoottheframe and life framer as well as the 5th Fine Art Photography award and i just had my first exposition of a full body of work in Strasbourg through the festival rendez-vous images Strasbourg.
