Holder of a CAP in photography and a professional BAC in photography, this ch'timi passionate about photography multiplies the subjects of daily reports from an emergency firefighter to the closed group of ultras of the Racing Club de Lens or the intimacy of legionnaires of the prestigious 2nd REP (Foreign Parachute Regiment).
