After completing a two-year course in a graphics school, I turned
to photography which has always been a true object of passion for me.
Last year, I spend six months living in one of Rio de Janeiro’s favelas,
and it was my first photo-report. After I went back to France, I was
finalist in a contest by “Paris Match” for photojournalism students, and
I also did an exhibit to show and expose my works from Brazil. I am now
a freelance photographer and movie maker.
We’d like to thank
