This black and white work immediately captures the attention with its graphic intensity and emotional depth. The photograph features a casually dressed man, wearing a printed t-shirt and cap, standing in the center of the image. His direct and impassive gaze gives a force and a brutal frankness to the image, inviting the viewer to probe his mind and his experiences. The context around him is visibly modest, with elements of disorder that evoke a simple and perhaps difficult everyday scene. To his left, a mechanical scale seems to recall manual employment, underlining the theme of labor. To its right, various objects, including a woven basket, add a narrative and textural dimension to the whole. The composition is careful and offers an atypical symmetry thanks to the balance between the elements present. The choice of black and white accentuates the contrasts and gives dramatic depth to the scene, while emphasizing the rough textures and imperfections of the setting, which seem to embody the trials of everyday life. This photograph is not simply a visual capture, but a powerful testament to human resilience. It stands out for its authenticity and poignant realism, offering a moment of reflection on the connection between individuality and environment, and on the rudimentary beauty hidden in the corners of ordinary life.

Presentation
Professional photographer, I am based on the magnificent Reunion Island. There they say, where God rests in winter!
My purpose here is not so much to tell you about my background or what I have achieved in my life as a photographer and creative director, but rather to reveal to you how the image imposes itself on me and more especially photography.
Photography is one of the most authentic means of communication in our modern era. Of course, it's very easy to falsify or take an image out of context, that's not how I see my job as a photographer! In my view, a fixed image must, in an instant with what it carries within it, provide a feeling, an emotion, represent the reality of a situation or express the evidence of a moment of life, the truth!
Whatever the subject photographed, a portrait, a landscape or even a scene of life, I always make sure that my shutter lets in light. This light thanks to which a scene is possible, but above all authentic.
Most photographers will tell you that light is the basis of photography and it's true, but I want to go further and believe that "the art of photography" is that of writing light when the moment is offered to you to capture a moment, a situation, a fixed movement or an entire story in a fraction of a second.
What would existence be without this light which pushes us to dream, which gives hope, which, if we search with the eyes of the heart, reveals something else sometimes so subtly hidden, how can we survive without this light which is and which gives life.
