About
I’m an self-taught FX artist, born in France. My work has given me the opportunity to discover different places and cultures such as: Barcelona (Spain), Montreal (Québec), and now Los Angeles where I live and work in the movie industry.
I have also taught myself the art of photography. I like to shoot with my instincts. I have a sense of feeling the Magic coming from the light at a right moment. Being compulsive, I have to capture the moment, that gift of Mother Nature, before it disappears forever or just transforms itself into another mystery.
However Light can also become a trap... an addiction. My quest is to learn how to capture the essence of the moment without falling into this trap. This is a fascinating journey full of questions and difficulties, yet it is also extremely rewarding.
I'm an alert observer, always ready: a home fire, a desert rain, an atmospheric night, the joy of a child, the pride of a homeless person or even my own physical wounds. I never miss an opportunity. It has become my Mantra.
A Propos
Née en France, je suis un artiste d’effets spéciaux pour le cinema. Mon travail m’a donne la chance et l'opportunité de travailler dans de nombreux lieux : Barcelone (Espagne), Montreal (Canada) et maintenant Los Angeles (USA).
Je suis un artiste visuel autodidacte qui fonctionne principalement à l'instinct. Je sais reconnaitre ces moments magiques de lumière, je suis compulsif, je me dois de capter ce moment, ce cadeau de la nature, avant qu'il ne disparaisse à jamais…
Mais la lumière peut devenir un piège, une facilité, une addiction. Ma quête est d'apprendre à capter l'essence du moment sans me faire avaler par la lumière. Le chemin est semé d’embûches et de doutes, mais il est aussi extrêmement gratifiant.
Pour cela, je suis à l'affût de chaque événement qui m’entoure : un incendie, une pluie dans un désert, une ambiance plongée dans le brouillard, la joie fulgurante du bonheur d’un enfant ou de fierté d’un sans-abris, voir même de mes propres blessures physique… Ne jamais rater une opportunité est devenu mon Mantra..
