“White Gold” - so the ancients once called salt. At the edge of the Camargue, land and sea blur into endless plains of salt - a landscape I know intimately, having grown up in Provence. Wind and sun shape the flooded flats into shifting patterns of crystal and water. This is a landscape carved by evaporation and time - a fragile territory in constant transformation. The salt quarries rise in silence, immense and austere, where nature becomes mineral, and the horizon dissolves into the deep blue sky and its slow-drifting clouds.
This selection brings together photos I’ve taken while traveling around the world. People I met, landscapes that stopped me in my tracks, and random things that caught my eye for their color, shape, or simply their presence. I like to capture what feels honest in a moment — a look, a place, or a detail that might otherwise go unnoticed. These images reflect what inspires me and how I see the world, one frame at a time.
This photographic series invites viewers to see New York not in motion, but in pause. Without the usual presence of crowds and movement, the city reveals a different rhythm - subtle, grounded, and introspective. Empty streets, silent facades, and overlooked corners become spaces of reflection. The noise recedes, and in its place, light, form, and texture take on new meaning. Random objects catch the sun like forgotten clues. Shadows stretch across buildings as if echoing what was there minutes before. In each frame, the city holds a kind of still memory - not mourning, but simply being. New York: A Peaceful Meditation, is not about what’s missing, but what remains. It’s a portrait of a city seen closely, quietly - with the space to breathe, to wait, and to be.
The Alabama River in the fleeting light of autumn. Golden reflections dance across the water, blending with the quiet rhythm of the trees. This series explores the gentle intimacy of rural landscapes, where time slows and nature whispers. Each photograph is a pause, a moment to witness the subtle poetry of the season. The river winds through fields and forests, carrying with it memories of calm and solitude. Fall colors frame the scene, a warm embrace against the cool southern air. The images invite reflection, a quiet journey along the water’s edge. Here, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, bathed in the glow of a river turning gold. A celebration of nature’s fleeting beauty, captured in light and stillness.
I captured these photographs at the archaeological site of Glanum and Les Antiques, located near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in the south of France. I was fortunate to be there just before a storm, allowing me to immortalize these scenes under a dramatic light that lends them a romantic, almost painterly quality reminiscent of the great masters Hubert Robert and Joseph Vernet. The prints carry a subtle pink hue, recalling vintage photographs treated with selenium toning. This site holds a special place in my heart - it was among the first I photographed at the beginning of my artistic journey. Being from nearby Avignon, it was impossible for me to overlook such a magnificent setting, and I return whenever I find myself in the region.
