April 18, 2023It’s been a while since I took the time to photograph the city with my camera. There are a few keepers in there, but they are just a pleasant side effect.

June 20, 2022Over the last two years, I have become more involved in landscape photography. During the pandemic, it was a way to continue photographing outdoors while keeping a social distance.

February 20, 2022Two years ago and a few weeks before the pandemic I went to London to take part in a workshop with the British artist and photographer Mark Fearnley.

May 13, 2017When Olivier Ficco from strassenfotos asked me that question last year, I couldn’t answer first. “Best memory” isn’t the same like “best picture”. If he had asked for the last, the answer wouldn’t have been much easier. Is it sharp, well composed, vibrant, contrasty? Is it often viewed, liked or commented at my Instagram or… [...]
