Escape (From The Dark) - Limited Edition Of 5 Fine Art Print

A French national, but born in the UK, currently living and working in Oxford, UK. In 1993, the door to the humanitarian world opened with a baptism of fire in Chechnya, Russian Federation. Since, working with different humanitarian organisations and as a Freelance Consultant, this led to the discovery of wonderous cultures and peoples in over 50 countries, where I have lived and worked professionally. From my time at University in France, through L’Histoire d’Art, and an interest in different art forms – my passion for photography was ignited by a Sebastião Salgado exhibition at the Chateau d’Eau in Toulouse, where the beauty and harshness of the world that we live in blended into one. Passioned by realism, it gives me great pleasure to photograph the world and people around me……. it’s that special moment when the person being photographed gazes into the camera lens that brings me so much pleasure. Inspired by everything that surrounds me - people, emotions, places, everything with colour and contrasts, I am fascinated by diverse cultures, people's way of life and their food. Inevitably this influences your work and combines not only words and poetry, but also our fecundity for life.
