What sparked your vocation as a photographer?
Enfant, je me baladais toujours avec une petite « diapo » dans ma poche et je regardais le monde à travers, comme pour fixer les images sur une pellicule imaginaire. Mais le vrai choc, je l’ai reçu en découvrant les photographies de Ansel Adams. Ses contrastes de noir et blanc et sa faculté à capter la nature sont impressionnants.
Are you an adventurer who takes photographs, or the other way around?
I am both of those in equal measure. A high-altitude mountain guide who flirts with limits to capture breathtaking landscapes; and a photographer who chooses his framing and light to convey the sensations of Nature, its breathtaking beauty.
Where do you live when you are not on the summits?
I settled in Idaho because I love to ski, but I have kept the nomadic soul stemming from a childhood where I kept changing countries, schools and cultures to follow my father, a civil engineer. I already loved discovering the world, especially through a lens!
