Art & Science
As a photographer and marine biologist, I have been developing work at the crossroads of art, science and fieldwork for over fifteen years.
Coral and water are at the heart of my universe. They inspire images, stories, and projects that connect living things to a more sensitive way of looking at the world.

In the press
Three ways of working together
I support museums, institutions, businesses, cultural venues and committed projects through three major complementary formats.

Drawing inspiration from living things
Trained as a marine biologist, I spent many years working closely with coral reefs and the realities on the ground. Gradually, photography emerged as another way to act: to reveal what surrounds us with enough power to touch, move, and inspire.
Through my works, my exhibitions, my lectures and my visual collaborations, I seek to make life something that inspires and transforms.
A perspective informed by fieldwork, science, and experience
My world has been built over the years between exploring the marine world, committing to the preservation of coral reefs, artistic creation, transmission and collaborations with institutions, brands, NGOs, museums and cultural projects.
This dual approach, scientific and sensitive, allows me to imagine projects that are demanding, accessible, embodied and visually strong.
• Over fifteen years of exploring coral and aquatic worlds
