My passion for photography started during my childhood. Already when I was very little I took photos with disposable cameras. Every Summer I went on holiday camps and I always brought back a serie of photos. I loved discovering new places and capture the moments to remember them. Later on, I fell in love with painting and watercolor. I realized that my emotions when I was painting, were as important as the subject. I brought that to my photography as well; I tried to incorporate into my photographs the emotions that I felt when looking at my subject.
I didn’t miss one single sunrise in the two months I was there. I left in the morning, alone, to search the cows in the mountains covered in morning fog and being lightened up by the first light of the day… That feeling of isolation in the essence of nature changed me. I find it reassuring, feeling part of the whole. Not being anymore just a brain occupied by desires. It brings pure tranquility, realizing that the tumult of society and its derivatives have no place there. This allows to put things into perspective, to recentralize. To become again the child we all have been, curious and amazed. It’s that feeling that recharges me nowadays. Being in Switzerland, I have easy access to the mountain, my place to return to my inner self, but I think that we can find this feeling pretty much everywhere, if we allow ourselves to reach that state of mind.
It encouraged me to venture out, in solitude, to new places, which brought me lots of beautiful reflections. All these moments lived alone in the mountains provided me with time to reflect about myself, my situation, and the unceasing uproar of the city. These privileged moments that transcend reality opened doors to a much bigger and deeper inner world. It’s because of photography that I found the way to a world within me, a world that each person has within himself. It could be called the hart, it could be called the soul… I call it my reality.
We are all very small and we are just a part of the bigger universe. We are the nature, and we have to remember that. I love that the nature is such a powerful matter, unpredictable, indomitable and strong. While at the same time, the natural light, soft and covering, is warm and comforting, making the world beautiful and welcoming. I find nature and light to be two very concrete and fascinating aspects. My objective with photography is to give people access to the brute beauty of nature, to the privileged moments of isolation in remote places. That people can recharge their sources of energy through the moments that made me thrill. And that maybe, it provokes to open their eyes to all the beauty that surrounds them.
Transcribing my memory of the moment. Therefore my use of post processing tools is very limited; I try to stay close to the human vision. What I really like is that photography is a big universe on its own, where curiosity is being rewarded. There is always something new to experiment with and new subjects to photograph. I am continuously learning and I am particularly passionate about silver photography. It’s the care and attention for framing the scene, opposed to taking many photos in order to sort out all of them afterwards, which I believe yields less perfect and more impulsive photos. It also allows you to live the moment more intensely, rather than living it through an objective and an endless serie of photos of one and the same subject. Sometimes I love to reproduce the rendering silver photography, to crystalize the moment with a feeling of nostalgia.
“It enables me to restore the emotions that nature aroused within me, where nature inspired me with. And it’s a true tool for me to show to the world that we are just small part of something marvellous, and that life is far from what we may perceive as sad and monotone. We ourselves are life. And we should respect it, explore it and love it.”
