I designed these compositions as small architectures, wanting to give preciousness with humility and minimum of use of effect.
Daylight is crucial in my work, shadows are an integral part of the setup.
Driven by my first instinct to pick up leaves, sensitive to their beauty, I continued to collected them during many years.
This leaves are part of a collection done during a walk in 2018 in Central Park, from a gingko biloba tree.
I often think with emotion when I handle leaves that come from trees who are more than 200 years old.

The research of beauty through simplicity and minimalism has been in the center of my attention as an interior designer in Paris over the last years.

I was born in France, and since child, I have always considered nature as a source of inspiration. I started 10 years ago to collect and classify different type of leaves during daily walks and also my trips.

In 2020, after a difficult period, I decided to express myself and my vision through photography. It began near the window where the daylight could appear shortly.

In these brief moments, I seek another perspective of the nature by listening the story told by the shadow.

At the outset, I have no precise idea on the final result. I follow my instinct who wants to reveal the Ephemeral.
