AUTHOR
I'm a portrait photographer from Gabon and based in Paris France since 2004. Formerly a linguist, I obtained my master's degree in computational linguistics at Paris Sorbonne IV.
After a short period as a linguist, I accepted to have a mind more turned to artistic expression.
I decided to start photography: first as an assistant to a photographer friend.
Then I decided to start as an independent photographer in 2016.

Reflecting on the experience and value of human life is one of my biggest motivations. I also want to celebrate beauty in all its forms...I've been interested in art and wanted to be an artist since I was a child, I started photography cause I think that sometimes words are not enough to express a certain type of feeling. I think that a simple picture of a human being is much more powerful than words.
