Né en France en 1984, je me suis très vite passionné pour les arts sous toutes leurs formes.
Dès mon plus jeune âge, j'ai commencé à dessiner et, à l'adolescence, j'ai développé un intérêt pour la musique avant de toucher ma première basse et de monter sur scène avec un groupe de métal dans les années 2000. Développant des projets et ayant une soif continue d'apprendre, je suis progressivement devenu multi-instrumentiste et j'ai développé des projets musicaux personnels sous forme d'album concept et de musique de film inspiré de grands noms tels que Hans Zimmer, Rob Dougan et Alan Silvestri.
J'ai hérité de plusieurs chapeaux, développant au fil des années mes compétences dans le domaine artistique. D'un statut de musicien, je suis devenu président d'une association en tant qu'organisateur de spectacles (petite échelle). J'ai ensuite travaillé pour des webzines métal en tant que rédacteur puis photographe, j'ai fait des chroniques d'albums ainsi que des live reports illustrés par moi-même.
Toujours curieux d'en savoir plus, j'ai continué à travailler dans le domaine de la musique et j'ai commencé à être reconnu par mes pairs en tant qu rédacteur, photographe, manager et agent de presse. J'ai pu profiter d'une expérience de 'press manager' au sein d'un label et mettre en place ma propre structure promotionnelle me permettant de travailler sur la promotion de plus d'une trentaine d'albums.
Souhaitant me consacrer à la photographie et au développement de compétences en vidéo, j'ai décidé en 2017 de m'y consacrer pleinement et d'en faire mon activité principale à travers ma micro-entreprise Phenix Promotion.
Ayant un regard très sensible sur l'aspect visuel et ne voulant pas me donner des barrières stylistiques en restant spécialisé uniquement sur la photographie d'événements, j'ai développé des compétences en photographie de portrait, nature, macro-photographie ainsi qu'en photographie de produits et séances de photos 'corporate'.
Cette expérience enrichissante m'a permis de rencontrer de nombreux collègues photographes, attachés de presse, rédacteurs, organisateurs de spectacles, managers, producteurs, etc, constituant un carnet de contacts bien fourni, mais surtout des personnes avec lesquelles j'ai pu créer un lien d'amitié.
Je vous laisse à mes clichés photographiques qui parleront toujours plus fort qu'un long discours, en espérant que vous les aimerez.

Born in France in 1984, I very quickly became passionate about the arts in their various forms.
From an early age, I started drawing and, as a teenager, I developed an interest for music before touching my first bass and setting foot on stage with a metal band in the 2000s. Developing projects and having a continuous thirst to learn, I gradually became multi-instrumentalist and developed personal musical projects in the form of concept album and film music inspired by great names such as Hans Zimmer, Rob Dougan and Alan Silvestri.
I inherited several hats developing over the years my skills in the artistic field. From musician status, I became president of an association as a show organizer (small scale). I then worked for metal webzines as an editor and then photographer, I made album reviews as well as live reports illustrated by myself.
Always curious to learn more, I continued to work in the music field and began to be recognized by my peers as an editor, photographer, manager and press agent. I was able to enjoy a press manager experience within a label and set up my own press management structure allowing me to work on the promotion of more than thirty albums.
Wishing to devote myself to photography and the development of video skills, I decided in 2017 to devote myself fully to it and to make it my main activity through my micro-enterprise Phenix Promotion.
Having a very sensitive look on the visual aspect and not wanting to give me stylistic barriers by remaining specialized only on event photography, I developed skills in portrait photography, nature, macro photography as well as promotional product photography and corporate photo sessions.

This enriching experience allowed me to meet many fellow photographers, press officers, editors, show organizers, managers, producers, etc. constituting a well provided contact book, but especially people with whom I was able to create a bond of friendship.
Now it's time for photographic clichés that will always speak louder than a long speech, hoping you like them.
