Great news! My own online shop for my prints is now open! It means that from now you’ll be able to order prints of my photos from the website and have it delivered to your home after a few days. I’ve only set up a few products for now, but it will expand pretty soon. I also plan on expanding the range of products, not having only prints but maybe some presets packages for street and black & white photography.
Please remember that ordering a print from me means having a bit of patience for a few days at least: for optimum quality I print on the go. This way I can monitor every step and avoid bad results, or stocked prints. All are freshly printed before being sent to you.
In order to celebrate this grand opening a 30% reduction coupon is available until September 30th, 2016: theshopisopen. This coupon works for any product, but only once per user.
I hope you’ll appreciate this new shop and with it, find a way to change the feeling of your room!
Young fisherman. Cancale, Bretagne/Brittany, France, 2016.
Cancale is a small town next to the sea in Brittany, France. Like every single town or city next to the sea, fishing is activity that is taken very seriously, at any ages. Cancale’s main activity, besides fishing, is oysters farming. And, as a good Frenchman, I didn’t forget to fill myself with a dozen, absolutely fresh oysters while I was there!
However, just before that, we’ve gone by the city’s pier to just observe the sea. This is a view I can enjoy only a few days a year, unfortunately. It was one of those cold summer mornings, with a sky ready to blow and submerge you with torrents of rain. We were lucky, as big, dark, and threatening those clouds were, they left us in peace. So, by the pier, this little boy was training to throw his line as far as possible in the sea. It took a few tries, but he did it. His father left him in charge of the fishing rods, joining a friend of his a bit further. We had a proud, young fisherman there!
In front of him, the little black dot far away, is the famous Mont Saint-Michel, sitting just at the limit of the Brittany and Normandy border… on the Normandy side. There is a friendly war between those two about where the Mont Saint-Michel really is… but for this boy, it’s just a small black spot on the other side of the bay!
Unfortunately for this young fisherman, it doesn’t seem that he was able to eat fish that day… surely next time!

Strangers in the Dark I. Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 2015.
This photo may be one of the most important pieces in my photography career. It’s the very first shot of my “Strangers in the Dark” project, a still ongoing project that contains a bunch of photos that has been already awarded quite often. I just don’t know why I haven’t posted them before… Well, never mind, they’re coming!
I’ve taken this photo at the Cluj-Napoca train station (Romania), definitely one of the place where I find the most inspiration. There is this brand new underground passage going from the station to the square on the other side of the street. It’s a bit weird, honestly, with only a few lights here and there. This is far from being ideal when you’re passing by by night. Well, that’s bad for the normal people, not for those weird people with cameras who will love this contrasty scene, with very dark and thick shadows!
I say weird people not just for fun. Imagine the scene: it’s late, it’s dark in this underground passage, and a big guys stays there in a corner waiting for people to pass by the light. Sounds a bit like a creep, right? 🙂 Well, a bit, I must admit, but while keeping a nice smile on my face, I think the people were not too freaked out. Most of them had their nose in their smartphone anyhow. That’s also the day where I found out my Fujifilm X100T’s bigger weakness, its battery life, as it was dying very fast while I was trying to get the perfect shot. It was quite a power saving challenge this day!
