I was born and raised in Northern
France by a French father and a Romanian-born mother.
I started studying photography in Paris
at 17 and then gained a First Class Ba Hons in Photography in Southampton.
I lived in the U.K. between 2006 and 2014, working on photography commissions (This Is My Home Now), volunteering for a refugees and asylum seekers charity (CLEAR), and working as a community-based Rehabilitation Assistant.
I left the U.K. in January 2014 and spent 12 months in Japan.
I moved to Israel on a temporary visa in January 2015, to learn Hebrew, Arabic, and to be able to complete Giving Peace Faces.

I am not a journalist.
Giving Peace Faces was born out of
a long-term interest in how the Israeli-Palestinian conflict affects
people (in Israel and the West Bank), and a strong will to take my
photography practice further and abroad.
I want to somehow comprehend how people are still driven to making peace and dialogue happen using their own lives as a tool to implement the changes they believe will make a difference.
Meeting with them and taking their portrait is how I try to do this.
