I grew up between continents and never quite belonged to any of them. That gap became my subject.

I learned photography on film and on set. I built my practice in nightlife and live performance: environments where the light is wrong, the brief changes, and the moment doesn’t wait.

Today I shoot events, portraits, performance, and video. I also make work under my own name: exhibitions, collections, street art, a magazine.

I work at 3am and on set with a crew of forty: the job gets done either way.

Since 2024, I have been exploring identity and self-expression through portraiture in my own studio, located at Les Arches Citoyennes, Hôtel de Ville, Paris.

Each session is an experiment in collaboration, helping other artists navigate and reveal their own sense of self while I continue to refine my own visual language. The portraits aim to capture the intimate, the experimental, and the transformative moments of identity.

Video grew naturally out of my documentary photography practice through demand.

Where a photograph preserves, video reveals. From short-form social content to long-form documentation, event recaps and multicam performance coverage, I use footage to capture what a still can’t hold: the raw, unfiltered reality of a moment as it actually happens.

Years on set across photography, camera assistance and camera operation mean I can work independently or integrate seamlessly into larger productions.

“The still is the proof. The film is the truth.”

Commissions are where creative freedom takes over: magazine editorials, album artwork, specific orders, and personal projects that don’t fit a predefined brief.

This is where IHEBFROMEARTH lives. An ongoing exploration of street art that blurs the line between visual art and public performance, transforming everyday cityscapes into dynamic, participatory experiences through site-specific interventions and urban interactions.

Each project, whether a cover shoot, a record sleeve, or a piece left on a wall somewhere in the city, carries the same intention: to make something that couldn’t have existed without a specific vision, a specific place, and a specific moment.

Contre Addictions was born from a need to say something real. As co-creator, co-editor, and photographer, I shaped the magazine from concept to print.

The first issue, FAST BPM FAST FASHION, is a visual and editorial dive into club culture and its contradictions.

Visual artwork for 42K Rescues, honoring 42,000 lives saved at sea. Torn blue posters form a silent backdrop, while red circular motifs and raised fists evoke cycles of rescue, resistance, and action.

Reassembled eyes watch over every life equally: a call to see, remember, and act, dignity at the center of our gaze.

An ongoing personal project at the intersection of street art and advertising, layering visual histories to create something entirely new. Working directly in urban environments, each intervention plays with existing textures, surfaces, and contexts to build its own meaning. Selected works have found their way into private collections.
