lIfe Through my VIewfinder…
After almost 30 years of news photo and several travels, in CEI, Poland, Caucasus and Former Jugoslavia, practicing analogic photography as a professional reporter, stringer for Hersant Press Group (Lyon-Matin daily newspaper) and shooting pictures distributed by international press agencies - Imapress, Cinestar, AFP, Reuters, and worldwide published in different magazines and newspapers, and more or less 20 others of digital cameras use, working successively for Demotix, Corbis, Getty Image and Citizenside, I’ve got my independence back, sharing my time between the diffusion of my archives and the production of press subjects before assigning their exclusive distribution to Alamy News and Stock Photos agency.
At 66, I feel free of any obligation, sharing my time between the production of pictures and subjects I’m instrested in and a more experimental practice of photography, coming back to what I feel like the origines of the photography - from ancien Greek : write with the light - and using negative films in toy and vintage analogical cameras, considering the pleasure of being totally responsible of my pictures, despite any so called imperfections due to low quality plastic lenses and disused camera bodies.
It was with this in mind that, in 2020, I re-established a photo-lab, next to my home, sharing the pleasure of making B&W photographic prints in the company of my son, himself a documentary films & clips maker, and starting photographer.

PARTICULARLY HATING PINTEREST, THE MOST DANGEROUS PHOTO ROBBERY ENTERPRISE OF THE WORLD, I ALSO SPIT ON FACEBOOK & TWITTER ACCOUNTS, BY POLITICAL AND ETHICAL CHOICE. F… THAT SHIT AND ITS PROMOTERS.
HOWEVER, AS A MODERN SUPPORTER OF GUY DEBORD’S POSITION ON THE “SOCIETY OF ENTERTAINMENT” - IN FRENCH : “LA SOCIETE DU SPECTACLE” - I MAINTAIN THAT IT COULD BE A FUNNY THING TO PUT “THE WORM IN THE FRUIT” - IN FRENCH : “LE VER DANS LE FRUIT”, I’LL PRETEND TO “PLAY THE SPECTACLE SOCIETY’S GAME” - IN FRENCH : “JOUER LE JEU DE LA SOCIETE ”. THAT’S THE REASON WHY PEOPLE WILL SOON FIND A DIGITAL EXHIBITION OF MY WORKS. ALL KINDS OF WORKS.
