In My Little Dreamhouse by the Bay, I explore an unfamiliar place—the Côte Vermeille—during an artist residency, letting wandering and chance guide me, capturing atmospheres and fragments of landscapes as they unexpectedly reveal themselves.

A videographer and photographer based in Béziers, I balance my work between personal projects (short films, documentaries, photographic projects) and commissioned work.

In my photography practice, I’m drawn to the quiet moments of everyday life, the barely noticeable details that, somehow, tell a story.
My work blends almost anthropological documentation with a more intuitive approach, where wandering plays a key role. I let chance and the unexpected guide me, looking for snapshots that capture the emotion in what might seem insignificant. I’m chasing a sense of wonder, seeing the world with fresh eyes, like a child, where everything feels fascinating, every moment holds discovery, and anything can become a photograph.
These images, simple yet intentional, are my way of holding onto what’s so often overlooked, the fleeting moments, ordinary objects, and traces of humanity etched into the spaces we inhabit.
