I define myself as an imaginer before being a photographer. Indeed, for me it is the work on the imagination that gives birth to images. When I was 16, I started to create fictions with my schoolmates. We made a slide show set in a cabaret in the middle of the war and I took a liking to it... I decided to train as an image artist at the Geneva Art School (ESAV), which gave me a broad perspective on all modes of visual expression, and then a little later in communication, at the Sawi (Bienne). After a first professional experience of 2 years at the TSR, I decided to start my own business at the age of 25 thanks to the support of a former teacher and friend Mirto Tanner. I made my small company grow with the joys and hazards of life for over 30 years.

In my fifties, I was led to explore the image beyond the finished product, as a process of care with Art Therapy at the Atelier Genève. Above all, I like to photograph people and give humanity to my services. I appreciate more than anything else to solve your communication issues by putting your ideas into images.

When I was 10 years old I received my first camera, a Kodak Starmite, it had a flash with single use bulbs and a 2 position diaphragm adjustment, it used a 4cmX4cm film format. I started taking pictures whenever I received a film and gave the film to the photographer to develop. Some years later I found in a book in the library the plans to build a pinhole camera with a chocolate box. The image appeared upside down on tracing paper when I put my head under a black cloth. It is at this moment that I approached the development and the printing by contact with the sun, because I obtained a negative during the shooting. Some time later I was given a 6 x 9 bellows camera with all the settings I could now do lots of testing. In college, I had the opportunity to take photography and lab courses. I then perfected my photo work with an acquaintance of my father who was a photographer. I continued my education as a self-taught person. During my studies in electronics, I realized small works in the photography in scientific environment. Thereafter in the professional framework, I took in charge photographic works which required the creation, the modification of devices to carry out photographs in a technical context. At each step it was new challenges to make these images. In parallel of my professional activities I had the opportunity to give courses as well of shooting as of laboratory. As soon as the first image processing software arrived, at the end of the 80's, Digital Darkroom and then Photoshop, I invested myself to master them and train users, photographers. In 91 I joined the art schools in Geneva for the introduction of computer graphics and the training of students and teachers. In this context, I actively participated in the introduction of the first digital cameras with their ecosystem. Digital photography had nothing to envy to film photography, constraints, much inferior results... but it was a new and very formative challenge, precursor of a radical change in technology.

Today my activity is essentially turned towards photography.

I've been passionate about photography since the age of 11. I started taking photos of plants and animals with an old iPhone, then one day I wanted a camera so I could take better pictures. From there, my passion evolved and I focused first on wildlife and nature photography, then I wanted to share my images on social networks. People liked it a lot and I wanted to learn more things to improve myself and take more professional, higher-quality photos, and finally to take very creative photos by adding decorations and studying different lighting. Then I followed up with portrait photography of people I knew, and photographed them outdoors in nature. I practiced communicating with them, suggesting poses and advising them on how to dress for the shoot.

So I decided to follow this path and seriously professionalize myself in the field of photography, and now I'm an apprentice at Les Studios Casagrande. I'm delighted to be able to evolve as a Photomedia specialist, and it would be a great pleasure for me to help you realize your desires and needs, and share my new ideas.
