RESUME
I discovered photography at the beginning of the seventies during the first Rencontres d'Arles. Self-taught in photography, I trained through contacts with renowned artists, in particular the American photographer Charles Harbutt (president of Magnum in the seventies) who influenced me a lot. I am a member-photographer of the Association Focale in Nyon (Switzerland).
Capturing what will disappear, perhaps preserving it from being erased, showing people interacting with the places in which they live, are the recurring themes of my projects which question the globalized world.
