It all started with my parents’ VHS camera when I was a teenager. I discovered the pleasure and magic of framing and filming. So, naturally, coming from my native Corrèze, I went on to study cinema, first completing a baccalaureate with a cinema focus, followed by a BTS in Audiovisual Image.



And, as life is a wonderful screenwriter, everything naturally fell into place.



I spent around twenty years working as a camera assistant and then as a camera operator on more than thirty feature films, alongside cinematographers including Claire Mathon, Antoine Héberlé, Matthieu Poirot-Delpech and Alexis Kavyrchine.



I also spent a great deal of time watching directors at work: Cédric Klapisch, Louis Garrel, Stéphane Brizé… I loved being an assistant because it allowed me to learn from others, to see how each person looks at the world and creates their images.



Today, I am a cinematographer, drawing on everything those years and experiences alongside them have taught me. Since 2022, I have also been working in documentary filmmaking.



I like searching for the right way to film each person, each story, each situation, each budget. I am particularly moved by people, women, nature, human relationships and emotions.



I love working as part of a team, searching together, not necessarily knowing straight away how to do things. The back-and-forth, the interdependence, that feeling that together we can create something greater — that is what excites me.

Above all, I love being at the service of a vision, a story, a quest.



And I love the magic of cinema: playing with its threads and looking for a way to make something emerge that would otherwise remain beyond our grasp.
