French, English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and German are among the languages he can find his way with.

"As a self-taught fashion photographer who is passionate on both sides of art and business, I try to capture how I see the world of beauty. Learning new knowledge and adding my personal view to my work is the main reason why I love to create, experience and push the limits.

I focus on creating and capturing a short story focusing on lifestyle or culture. Bringing out the beauty and the voice of my subjects is what I love to do. My recent clients include advertising campaigns with Claudine Ivari, still photographs for delicious Caviarly’s and a commercial campaign for Yohann Fayolle."
