This weekend I have seen my oldest friend who used to work in cinema and has facilitated writing workshops. His latest project was to select images from a friend photographer (according to a certain theme), and to write corresponding text as if the whole exhibition was the storyboard of an unknown movie. I’m wondering what […]
Feeling small
There’s something special about being alone in front of a breathtaking scenery, it’s like having a rare privilege. Waking up before everyone, walking in the dark, waiting for the sun to rise slowly, hear no other sound than waves and birds … Maybe my camera was just an excuse to stand in front of the […]
Scale and Depth
On our way to Yellowstone two years ago, we had the chance to discover Glacier National Park. While the landscapes were not as unique as some other US Parks, it was still breathtaking to be there. It’s one of these places that push you to use a medium or large format cameras, just because it […]
Discovery
It requires talent, when arriving in a new place, to immediately take pictures capturing the essence of the site.

Empty streets of Philadelphia
We were living in Boston since a few months when we decided to visit Philadelphia. It was our first Thanksgiving in the US, so we thought it will be a perfect long WE… I can’t remember how long it took just to find an open restaurant in the desert city…

While the whole concept is globally fine, I found more interesting to spent time […]
NYC at work
NYC is pure bliss for photographer, whatever time, whatever day. When weather is not so nice, when sky is white or dirty gray, with just enough directional light to create some shadows, it’s perfect time to see the Big Apple in Black & White…
Potentiality
Too often, I feel frustrated when discovering the images that I was the most eager to capture, because of the difference of what I felt when I stopped walking to look through the viewfinder, and what I see on the screen… I’m not talking about technical aspects, no, in fact, it’s more like if I […]
