Photographer from the bay

Surfer first, photographer second. I shoot the way I surf: patiently, reading the water, waiting for the right moment.

My story

I grew up in a fishing family in Imsouane, when the village was still a handful of houses and boats. My first camera was a gift from a traveller who stayed for a whole winter.

Ten years later, I have photographed hundreds of surfers, couples and weddings, from local kids to brands. I still live here, I still surf every morning, and I still get excited when the light turns gold.

How I work

  1. 1

    Light first

    I plan every shoot around tide, swell and the hour before sunset.

  2. 2

    No stiff poses

    Gentle direction, lots of walking and laughing. You will forget the camera.

  3. 3

    Fast delivery

    Your private gallery is online within 48 hours, colour-graded and ready to share.
