A Portrait

He confessed us, at the time of our first meeting :

The Paradise exists, i've met it,
but unaware men are mad enough to destiny it.

Since 1977, date on which one of his friends has lent a Nikonos III (with a flash with bulb !), this alumnus from the Art School endeavors to touch the heart of the general public with unforgettable pictures.

His passion, his commitment and the perpetual search for emotions to make us share, even pushes him, in winter, to dive on night.
Alone, he dries and opens his camera in the headlights'beams of his car, he engages a new film, and returns to merge into the veils of dark velvet of Mare Nostrum.

The Setting-off by the Picture

His abilities brought him the illustrations of various advertisements relating to the submarine world (Plongee Grand Bleu Corse, clubs of diving, public notices of the European Meetings of Diving, New Frontiers, etc).
On the Environment Office's request, he expresses his talent by making a setting-off by the picture within the context of the plan of the International Sea Park of the Mouths of Bonifacio.
