Lulled from an early age by tales of adventure and travel, from Canada's far north to sailing around the world, and then hooked on television programmes like Thalassa and Ushuaia, I studied psychology and ethnology to gain a better understanding of how human beings live and function. Then I trained as a journalist to record my discoveries and experiences.
I've been carefully preparing and organising my trips since I was 16. I always give priority to meeting the locals for the authenticity and richness of human contact. Naturally, I stay with local people as often as possible to get to know their way of life better, and for the pleasure of meeting and talking to them.
A former journalist, I now want to work as a photographer, videographer and drone pilot. I like to bring out the authenticity and humility of seafarers and mountain people in the face of the elements. I'm always on the lookout for a powerful image, trying to tell unique stories that are rich in emotion, to showcase people, ancestral knowledge, lifestyles and customs, and the relationship between people and animals. In search of fleeting moments, I try to immortalise the fragile beauty of the world's cultures and nature, to capture the grace of simple gestures, such as a glance or a smile.
My ultimate dream is to spend my time travelling around the world, sharing my texts, images and videos in the media, on my Instagram account, my YouTube channel, my website and my blog.
I practice many outdoor sports (trekking, sailing, diving, skiing...). I was brought up with dogs and I had one myself. I've done some horse-riding.
I've already done some woofing via another platform.Interests
