Photography has been my favorite form of artistic expression for years. It may seem paradoxical, as I am less interested in capturing reality than in exploring abstract motifs and intriguing compositions, where colors and shapes create an interesting distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, I am often captivated by the play of light in urban landscapes, inspired by the magnificence of nature, or moved by the beauty of a fleeting moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This page is an overview of a long photographic practice from silver photography to digital photography. Click the links inside the caption to see more of each series. There are sorted by theme rather than time creation, although some of the most recent projects are listed first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cape Verde (2017)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For lovers of colour and music, Cape Verde is a dream come true. I enjoyed the spectacle of the streets. Here’s a sample of my street photography. More in the dedicated gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transition <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The former site of the racecourse situated in the Sonian Forest (Brussels) was to become a new model of active leisure park.Transition, an eight month photo project, offers a personal view of the site, summed up in a book <\/a>made of eight series. All pictures have been taken between Septembre 2016 and April 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five series have been selected for this porfofio, with a selection of pictures for each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serie I <\/a>proposes an imaginary walk of a photographer who would have known the racecourse in the past century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As most of artists and especially photographers, I love travelling. During my carreer as a researcher, I had a lot of opportunities to present my work abroad. I therefore took the opportunity to discover the countries as I explains in this article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below an overview of some trips would they be in the scope of a work travel, or for leisure only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My real passion for colour photography started when I discovered Toni Catany’s still lifes<\/a>. As I could not see more of them, I decided to create some by myself. Below this early work in silver photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
