“Photography has become a more and more important part in my life and my creative process. I’m a very visual music composer. I love painting, especially the works of El Greco, Miquel Barcelo, Van Gogh, Hiroshige, Velasquez, Bacon and Chu Ta. But I’m even more sensitive to photography. I took my first lesson in photography when I was seven. My father gave me my first camera a year later. As a teenager, I loved the old Hollywood portraits by- Irving Penn or George Hurrell, grew up with images by Pierre & Gilles on posters, magazines or record covers, devoured books published by John Kobal, and then discovered the works of Robert Frank, Herb Ritts, Weegee, William Klein, Tina Modotti, Herbert List, Paul Strand or Shoji Ueda, and more recently, Steven Klein, Kishin Shinoyama, Jack Pierson or Cindy Sherman… among many others!
I can’t go anywhere without having my camera with me.

Lately this part of my work has started to grow in importance, with the music videos that I have directed, and also a few photo exhibitions. I’m now working on a few projects that will encompass photography, visual arts and music.”
