30, rue des Acacias - 75017 Paris - France
I’m not interested in technical perfection. I know how a camera works, but what matters to me is what the image holds beyond the surface — the atmosphere, the tension, the silence.
Photography has always been a way for me to pause time. Not to freeze it, but to stretch it. To create a space where something lingers. That’s what I’ve looked for in these ten years working with Numéro: a certain suspension. A way of staying between moments.
Fashion, in this context, is not a subject — it’s a tool. A place for the imagination. My background in documentary photography still shapes how I see, but here I’m more interested in fiction. In suggestion rather than evidence.
I don’t take pictures all the time. I don’t believe in constantly producing. I work when the image is part of a process, when there’s a structure, a reason, even if it’s fragile. Repeating what I already know how to do doesn’t interest me. Each project is a new beginning.
I avoid style as a fixed idea. I prefer to move, to shift. To work from uncertainty, not from formulas. What matters to me is to remain attentive — to what happens before the image, and to what stays after.
This exhibition is not a summary. It’s a moment in motion. Ten years that feel like one continuous instant — fragile, open, unresolved."
