In a world of images stored in the cloud and aestheticized to the point of unreality, I choose slowness and materiality.
Here, the image is not just a click away: it is crafted by hand.
I shoot on film, develop by hand, and enlarge —soon— each image on paper.
No filters. No screens.
Just light, time,
and the imperfection that makes human gestures so beautiful.
Memories become objects: to be framed, passed on, leafed through.
A sincere, tangible photograph, whose emotional value grows over the years;
Analog photography puts the photographer—not technology—back at the heart of the creative process behind each image.
No screen, no software assistance, no corrections possible afterwards.
Only the reading of the light, at the precise moment the shot is taken, determines whether the image will exist… or not. It is a slower, more committed, and also more instinctive gesture.
Each reportage is an opportunity to photograph life as it comes: its exchanges, its coincidences, its atmospheres.
Collecting these fragments of life that arise without staging or artifice.
Just the truth of the moment, revealed later, in the darkness of the darkroom;
I develop film rolls and—soon—print each image under the enlarger in my lab.
Every gesture counts. The photographs are born from a patient, human, sensory process.
Development time, choice of chemicals, bath temperature: every decision matters.
It is a slow, handmade craft that requires taking the time necessary to achieve the most accurate result;
Designed to tell stories and be passed on
Each photograph is a memory that we hold in our hands.
It is a print that we hang, frame, give away, pass on…
It is a book that we consult at our own pace, going back and forth, starting at the end.
An object, a discreet witness to a family history, that stands the test of time.
“Modernity is the marriage of the fleeting and the timeless.”
Charles Baudelaire
Le peintre de la vie moderne
Wedding stories, family tales
Development, scanning, enlarge
Got a story to tell? Memories to share? Want to learn?
If you love the slow pace, texture, and delightful imperfections of film photography, drop us a line.
The rest will fall into place along the way.
