It all started with this regional newspaper La Liberté. Based in Fribourg (Switzerland) the chief editor was at the time Roger de Diesbach, and it meant a lot!
There I realised what is to be a photo-journalist, and started to love long term stories.
After 3 years hardworking at La Liberte, I decided to travel a bit. So I went to live 6 month in St-Petersburg (Russia), spent 3 month in Paris working as Michael von Graffenried’s assistant, won a prize, went to Brazil to do a personal photo project ( “Volta au Mundo” on www.realeyes.ch).
Now am I back in Switzerland working as a freelancer, doing a lot of portraits, and still working on personal projects ( http://www.aggloweb.ch/urgence/webdoc/ find there my latest work).
