This work has been shot in my photo studio, in Yaoundé. Of course, taking pictures of undressed models in an outside setting would not have been possible. But using studio lights was a priority to me and was only possible indoor. I built a traditional Ewondo hut (central Cameroon). Outfits (kabas) and everyday objects have been borrowed from African houses.

Ce travail à été réalisé dans mon studio de Yaoundé, pour des raisons évidentes de discrétion mais aussi de manière à utiliser une lumière calculée et toujours égale. J’ai construit cette case sur le modèle classique Ewondo du centre du Cameroun. Tous les accessoires et habits sont authentiques et utilisés tous les jours.

Biography

I am a French photographer specialised in developing countries ( in particular the African Continent). I first completed expedition trips in (more or less) 30 countries before taking up residence in Yaoundé (Cameroon) for a few years. After four years devoted to Cameroon, I am now based in Dublin (Ireland).

I gained most of my experience through the various photo projects I completed for many NGO’s such as: World Wide Fund (WWF), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Organisation Mondiale du Tourisme (OMT) or international Cooperation services, among them the German Cooperation (GTZ), the Dutch Cooperation (SNV), the Belgian Cooperation (CTB), …

At the same time I developed a project about the African nude in my studio. I am presenting this work in my book.
