Photography is my passion.
While appreciating digital imaging, I prefer traditional black and white photography. Still today, after so many years, I am
thrilled when a print slowly appears in the developer tray.
I also have a strong interest in the so-called "alternative" processes, where the artist's skilfulness and the materials used are an essential part of
an activity that is as much a craft as it is an art..
But technique isn't the main thing: when pictures are only assessing the technical skills of the photographer, they're pointless. That's why I
decided to stay away from photoclubs – where discussions are usually more about how taking a picture than why – and created the
“PEPS” (“Photographie Expressive, Photographie Subjective”) photography collective with some photographers considering themselves as
“emotion transmitters” rather than “image makers”.
I launched also Picto Benelux, a group of photographers specializing in historic
photographic processes. –
