YOU MEN
The first element where we live.
The main substance that constitutes us.
The most important resource for our balance.
Between poesy and force, here is my vision of that story.
Between dreams and reality, I create pictures that look like paintings but who were really captured in the water. My work is very unique and comes straight from my heart. I found my personal balance between realism and surreal images.
People are always asking themself how I photographed my images. If it was underwater or not. So, I love to leave some clues on it, like bubbles or surface reflection.
The main focus on my photographs, is to first and foremost, make people feel special. I don’t shoot underwater to get a regular underwater photo. I shoot under the surface because it’s where I feel comfortable and free. By photographing people submerge, I try to share with them that way I am feeling. And, offer them an unique experience.

Humans & water. The longest story of life.The first element where we live.
The main substance that constitutes us.
The most important resource for our balance.
Between poesy and force, here is my vision of that story.
about the photographer
I had a phobia of water for a very long time until I was forced to pass an exam a few years ago as part of my degree. It’s only then that I realised how great it was to be in the water! Soon after that, I started getting more interested in exploring the ocean. Snorkelling and diving became a real passion. This is what triggered me to combine both photography and underwater activities.Between dreams and reality, I create pictures that look like paintings but who were really captured in the water. My work is very unique and comes straight from my heart. I found my personal balance between realism and surreal images.
