I'm a creative director, a photographer and a bookmaker.
The first part (which I like) helps me pay the rent. I work In Paris as a creative consultant for various agencies as well as a number of corporations. I do advertising, direct marketing, annual reports, brochures, newsletters, illustrations, web design and PowerPoint presentations that keep people awake. But, as Tony Soprano would say, "this is just business".
The second part - photography - (which I love) brings me much joy. Diane Arbus once said that is important to take bad photos and I’ve always followed her advice. I had severals one-man shows in France and in the UK. My work was published in the UK magazine NextLevel. The third part, bookmaking (which I adore), makes me really happy.
The Ag Magazine in UK wrote an article about the book I dedicated to my parents. For me, a book or an album is more than just a nice design: I always try to find a concept or a story around which I organize all the content. Like life itself.
Why should YOU ask ME to help you design your book when you can contact ANYONE ELSE on this page? Because I’m better looking than the cat from Boston? Because I can do things you regular folks can’t do, like magic and so on? Because I’m so modest? Because a piece of fish means more to me than money? Because you’ve seen my books and you think I’m nuts? Because I live in Paris? Anyway, while I sleep, take first a good look at the others and if you still want MOI to help YOU, you’re very bienvenu.
