Black and white photography hooked me in the mid/late eighties. I then started practising with compact cameras and my father's reflex until he offered me my first proper camera he bought at a carboot sale in our hometown : an old 1971 Canon EFX in mint condition which I trustfully used (and I still do) until I switched to a DSLR camera in 2006.

As a self-taught photographer, photography has always been a passion since my chaotic teens (taking pictures, seeing other photgraphers’ work at exhibitions or in specialized magazines). For some twenty years, I have been making my own « photographic cuisine » never thinking of technical performances, only letting my feelings prevail.

My photographs mirror my own feelings and my own monochrome field of vision. For my iner-self, colour photographs are too reflective of our Common World and do not stimulate Man’s imaginary part of the brain enough. Art should create distance. I've also abhorred colours since my late teens.

Shooting urban landscapes, occasionally nature, derelict, forgotten, hidden places, bringing trivial things to light, journeying back in time - to cut a long story short, any place Man seems to have deserted thereafter – in « dull » seasons explains the complete disappearance of people in my shots. Emotions overcome bodies, memories merge with the present times. For that's one of the purposes of photography: framing any moments in time.
The mundane everyday, plain life as it is and its common people are no source of inspiration to me as they convey no overwhelming imaginary dimension which, I think, is necessary to create and outpass reality, to stimulate my own feelings first.
For that’s where I see Man standing – behind the camera lens and behind the shots, not in/side but out/side.

Those same feelings are operating inside me when I fave someone's work.
