CAPTURING SMALL AND BIG MOMENTS IN STUNNING STYLE

Born in 1983, I feel like I’ve already lived several lives.

I’m a Franco-Mauritian photographer who landed in Lorraine in 2011 for work. Before that, I moved around quite a bit (Mauritius, Réunion Island, Bordeaux, Lacanau Ocean, and Hendaye). Sure, I miss the warmth and the ocean like crazy, and honestly, I didn’t plan on staying in Metz. But love had other plans for me.

I’ve always been a creative soul, dabbling in different artistic fields, but my real passion for photography sparked in 2017.
I’m a dreamer who loves connecting with people! Photography lets me express myself and release the emotions I tend to keep bottled up. Since picking up a camera, I see the world differently—everything, even the simplest things, can be inspiring and beautiful.

Though I’m more of an introvert and enjoy my solitude, I genuinely love people, their quirks, and the bonds they share. I started by photographing my loved ones, which ultimately pushed me to go pro. My empathy and deep sensitivity can sometimes overwhelm me, but they also help me capture emotions and moments in a meaningful way.
