I am hydrology engineer, nature has always been for me the center of my interests. After these long studies I realized that something was missing in my life...human.
I decided in 2012 to go to the other side of the world in New Zealand, with my legs, my good mood and my camera. A simple way of life, to be able to get closer to the people. I had the chance to meet great people and a beautiful culture : Maori culture. It has adapted to a modern environment while keeping its ancestral values. Respect, sharing and transmission, are sacred values in Maori society. Respect for ancestors, future generations, nature, earth...touched me deeply. I now try to follow these values, which are important to me.
At the same time, I have developed my sensitivity by audiovisual arts. I am videographer, and I am today professionnal. With this fantastic tool of video, I want to value people with noble values in an increasingly fragile environment...Following the light.
