The story

“I discovered my love for photography in 2017 — and I never really put the camera down.”

I'm a freelance portrait, fashion and beauty photographer based in Paris. From shooting in the streets of Paris to collaborating with brands and working alongside actresses and models, photography has taken me on an incredible journey.

Over the years I've honed my craft through research, practice and a lot of hard work, turning a hobby into a career. I pay attention to the smallest details — a stray hair, the angle of a hand, the exact temperature of the light — because that's where an image goes from good to unforgettable.

I handle every session personally, from the first message to the final image — with clear communication and a private client space where you can follow everything from booking to delivery.
