Biography

I'm a finalist of IWPA award 2022 for my documentary "Welcome to the world", on a problem of accessibility to maternal care during Covid pandemic in Nepal. I received several time the favourite by the ANI in portefolio review in international festival of photojournalism "Visa pour l'Image".

I'm a french, for more than 20 years divading my life between France and Asia (mainly in Nepal). I was an importer of my clothing brand made in Nepal for 10 years. The 2015 earthquake brought me to photography by working for an NGO and document the lives of street kids and teenagers, "Free youth of Nepal".

I regulary collaborate with nepalese NGOs.

I am currently working on a project on the empowerment of girls in Nepal.
