BIOGRAPHY
As a director and photographer, I come from imagery — more specifically from advertising — before moving into cinema. At the age of 7, I began making my own short films with a camcorder and HI8 tapes, alongside my childhood best friends. These suspended moments became my escape: spaces of freedom and expression that helped me face difficult events. I promised myself to persevere in this practice that made me happy.
Before cameras, there was drawing: years spent at the Beaux-Arts de Versailles observing shadows, lines, bodies and light. That is where I understood that what truly interested me was not merely representing reality, but revealing what lies between gazes and light.
In a Paris film school, I learned technique, discipline and the language of framing in directing. But my writing was shaped elsewhere — at my mother’s home. I trained by working, shooting, editing, starting over — in luxury, fashion and advertising. This blend of worlds taught me that aesthetics only make sense when they serve emotion and truth, however fragile. And that images must, above all, tell a story, convey an intention and a message. To date, I have directed several music videos, commercials and fashion films for magazines such as L’Officiel, Vanity Fair and Numéro.
I am a director driven by image and emotion. I tell states of being, tensions, fractures that say more than dialogue. I love light and clashing colours, textures that tell a story. I love filming what breaks — and what is reborn, or the opposite.
Today, I seek to create works that exist at the boundary between reality, unreality and sensation. Narratives where aesthetics amplify emotion, where the intimate meets the social, where the image becomes a way to breathe and interpret. I always work with precision — sometimes obsession — but always with the conviction that what I film must have a heart and a meaning.
To tell a story, for me, is to touch a viewer. And every new project is an attempt to get a little closer to that.
