Self-taught cinematographer and photographer, he captured his first images at the age of 12 with the family camcorder. While studying geography at the University of Fribourg, he produced his first documentaries – portraits with a particular sensitivity to the places where the people he filmed used to live.
In parallel, he developed a passion for photography and light, observing what happens when nothing is happening. He regularly leaves his everyday life for a month or more, voluntarily losing himself in a new town, recreating his life for a time, somewhere different. In this way he has developed works that pay homage to the ordinariness of a place, to the banality of reality.
