The beauty that surrounds us 
Welcome to my site presenting my photographic projects and books. I like creating photographic stories around topics that I find interesting. Nonetheless, if there is a common theme underlying these projects, it is probably the beauty that surrounds us, wherever we are. There is more of it than we think; we just have to keep our eyes open!

Since 2008, I have been developing photographic projects some of which have materialized in books. One of my pictures was nominated best black-and-white portrait by PHOTOSWISS in 2010. I am member of associations Mémoire du Grand-Saconnex and Société Genevoise de Photographie and Past President of Lions Club Geneva Nations.
