Born in North-East France in 1963. Lived in south France (Nîmes), then in Paris before moving to the United States in 1993 (Atlanta, GA and then Dallas, TX). Moved back to Europe in 2003, in beautiful and mountainous Switzerland. Married since 1993 with professional photographer Aline Marandet. Personal photographic experience includes black and white photography, from 35mm to 4x5 Cambo chamber. But finds digital photography very convenient, especialy since the children were born.
