Exploration – Documentary – intimacy

Born in 1986 in Charleroi, I’m photographer, director and social worker based in Brussels. I work mainly in films but in digital too, in colour or black and white as required.
With a documentary approach, I try to take a sincere and intimate look at the people, scenes, places or objects that come to light in front of my lens.
I use photography to capture reality and its singularities, taking care to show respect and dignity towards my subjects.
I am very careful to establish a healthy and respectful collaboration with people.
Over time, I have developed a form of photographic archaeology around objects and traces of man that emerge from a space, whether it is enclosed or vast.
