Know How:
Paris-based freelance photographer specialising in still life, product and fashion, with a strong focus on lighting, composition and colour consistency. Trained at Spéos, I'm as comfortable behind the camera as I am in post-production, where I deliver careful, high-end retouching.
On set, I regularly work as a photo assistant. I handle equipment, set up the lighting (both strobe and continuous) and keep the shoot running smoothly, in the studio or on location. Independent and detail-oriented, I
adapt to each photographer's pace and requirements.
As a digitech, I manage the full digital workflow on set: tethered capture, session management in Capture One, colour control and calibration, live view for the team and the client, secure backups, file sorting and naming, along with a first pass of on-set retouching or clean-up.
Versatile and reliable, I enjoy leading my own projects as much as supporting others'. Feel free to get in touch for your productions.
References as assistant / Career
My path to photography wasn't a straight line. After a Master's in Global and Sustainable Business at EDHEC, I began my career in sustainability consulting, working with organisations such as EcoAct and Anomera. That experience gave me rigour, structure and a sharp understanding of how brands think and communicate.
But photography kept pulling me back. I went freelance in December 2022, focusing on product, fashion and still life, and I chose to build solid technical foundations by training at the Spéos School of Photography (2025–2026).
Today I bring both worlds together: the discipline and client-awareness of my consulting years, and the craft and creative eye of a photographer — a combination I love putting at the service of brands and productions.
