It all started with Sneakers Custom.
For more than three years, I spent countless hours imagining, painting,
and transforming pairs of shoes to make them unique, entirely handcrafted.
It was my first way of bringing ideas to life, of letting colors and shapes speak.

Then another passion was born : Photography.
More precisely, film photography. I’ve been devoted to it for over six years now,
and it has become a true form of expression for me, a way to tell stories, to share,
and to capture the essence of fleeting moments.

What I love about film is time. In a world where everything moves fast, it offers me a pause.
Each shot requires patience, attention, and above all, intention.
Taking a photograph becomes a deliberate act, almost meditative.

Today, the camera is my language. Through it, I seek to convey emotion, spark curiosity,
and take the viewer on a journey.

Every image is a story.
Every story is art.
