A window, rain. And behind it, an inner journey with colorful notes.
Real photographic watercolors #fromyourwindow contest.

It's after a 2 year trip on the UK land that I decided to dedicate myself fully to photography and perfect my artistic knowledge in Paris. I create my series on themes that are close to my heart. It's in urban photography that I can blossom fully. This gets me closer to people and makes me feel alive! I also love to express myself through sculpture and painting, the contact with the material and the infinite mix of colors fascinates me.

My dream was to take photos like those seen in National Geographic.

It was not easy at the beginning, I've spent thousands of hours watching editing tutorials and trying new techniques but I was never at the level I wanted, so I pushed myself hard to learn more and more.

For me, photography is not about the results, it's more about the journey. The story that is behind every picture is more valuable than anything else. It reminds me of all the kilometers I hiked to reach that vantage point, all the hours I waited for the right light to show up and the difficult climate conditions I had to fight to be able to stand there and take that one image that I will be proud to show to the world.

Exploring the interaction between the people and the environment, the private and public space... In constant search of the moments, which can transform ordinary everyday scenes into unique short stories.
