I first studied anthropology, worked for NGO’s in Madagascar and China and with migrants in Switzerland. As a freelance photojournalist, I’m now based in Geneva. I’m mainly interested in documenting the social mutations and new identity constructions. I’ve just finished 2 photo reports on Eritrea and on NayPyiTaw, the new ghost capital city of Myanmar. This last series called « Junta in Wonderland » was projected in the International Festival of Photojournalism Visa Pour l’Image at Perpignan in France and is now shortlisted for the Scam Roger Pic Award.back to gallery
