After working as a cameraman and camera assistant in the film industry, he turned to photojournalism as a self-taught pursuit. 
After several projects abroad, he graduated from the EMI in 2024 with a degree in photojournalism and documentary photography.
In the same year he received a special mention from the jury of the Laurent Troude scholarship for his series Mardyck, le village qui ne veut pas mourir (Mardyck, the village that won’t die).

His photographic practice responds to a vital need to explore places, people and his own intimate fears and questionings. His work revolves mainly around the theme of disappearance.

During this mentoring year, he intends to develop his project Disparaître. Through three villages differently threatened by climate change, he aims to highlight the acceleration of this phenomenon in France and its concrete impact on people. This exploration of the personal stories of individuals whose homes are threatened will allow us to question the types of attachment that can bind humans to their territory. What happens if this bond is threatened with disappearance?
