Description

Freelance photographer & videographer since 2014, I specialize in documentary photography, reporting, and audiovisual content creation for cultural, institutional, or engaged projects.

Educated in Switzerland at HEAD – Geneva University of Art and Design and ECAL – Lausanne University of Art and Design, I have developed an approach at the crossroads of still images and film narrative. My work is nourished by reality, with a focus on storytelling, the sensitivity of subjects, and the accuracy of the gaze.

A member of the Répliques association since 2017, I regularly conduct image education workshops in conjunction with educational, social, or cultural organizations.

My areas of intervention:

Event, cultural, institutional photography
Photo/video reporting (festivals, documentaries, artist portraits)
Filming and editing videos for the web and social media
Introduction to image workshops (photo, pocket film, editing)

I work independently or as part of a team, with professional equipment, and adapt to various environments: contemporary art, performing arts, non-profit projects, media, heritage.
