What makes you choose this profession?

 

I decided to become a photographer but especially entrepreneur for the freedom that one can have while working for oneself. Beyond that, the image being a passion and a lifestyle, I never feel like I'm working and it's one of the most important things in my life.

Could you share how do you expand your vision of art, fashion?

 

I believe that we must never stop discovering and learning. I spend a lot of time interacting with other photographers, models and fashion designers to always have new ideas. I'm not just in fashion, but I always try to stay open to other areas.

How do you think about your work? Is it what you like, or simply saying a dream?

 

This is a job that I want to do since I was 15, we can say that it is a dream that I made real. However, from the outside, the profession of photographer may seem simple, but it must be taken into account that it is above all a real company and that the notions of networking, marketing or accounting are not to neglect in addition to working on our images. It's something I was not aware of at the beginning.

Is art, fashion important in your life? Why?

 

I have always been close to artistic fields in general. Fashion has only recently returned to my life after meeting Esther Bancel. I had a real crush on her innovative creations as well as her personality, it's she who made me want to immerse myself in the incredible world of fashion.

In modern society, lots of people want to be famous, influential. How do you think about it?

 

I think it can be dangerous for artists to be too attentive to likes. We may tend to change his style simply to have more likes because we realize that this or that style of photo works better on social networks, and I do not like this idea. Let's stay authentic!
