After studying business and working for several years in various start-ups, I decided to pursue my real passion, photography. So, at the age of 30, I started The Entrepreneurial Photographer in 1 year program at Spéos, specialising in photojournalism.

I’ve never regretted that choice, because the training period was incredible. I learned everything I wanted to know: the different photography techniques, how to develop my own style and also how to find work in this very competitive profession.

Today, I’m a photographer. I take part in artistic residencies, I do workshops with students, I cover events and sometimes I photograph flats too. I like wearing different hats, so I never get bored. I’m proud to have come to this school.
