About the Creator
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.
