I’m a French-Norwegian, Oslo-based photographer with more than 13 years of experience working with still pictures. I’m passionate about photography and carry my camera everywhere.

As you can see from my website, my main interests are documentary, reportage and travel photography but I also work commercially, albeit less than in the start of my career in 2010. I generally don't work for free, but make exceptions (or discounts) for NGO's, non-profits or great creative projects.
When I'm not taking pictures I work as a Paramedic in Oslo, Norway. My dream is to become a health field-worker for Doctors Without Borders combined with taking pictures to bear witness.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to work with me, want to buy a print, publish my work or if you're just curious about something.
