I am French photographer, filmmaker, and artistic director whose working at the intersection of documentary, portrait, and installation art.

Trained in anthropology, I specialized in documentary projects. I work veers between documentary photography, photojournalism and images of reality, focusing about memory and identities, mostly in evolving territories in the Mediterranean and the Arab countries.

For the past fifteen years, I worked about cultural practices of black minorities in North Africa. In 2005, I began my first documentary photographic body of work in Morocco on a ritual symbolizing the deportation of slaves, which took me as far as Tunisia. My photo series The Last Dance, Looking for Saadiya and Arifa tell a broader story of this religious practice that has become part of North Africa’s heritage. This work became a mini documentary series broadcasted on Pan African Music’s plateforme.

In 2011, while I was in Tunis, the wave of Arab Spring revolutions hit Tunisia. I covered events for French and international medias and I decided to settle down in the country, where I stayed for over ten years to document the democratic transition. Through the prism of young people seeking a place in this new society, I produced three bodies of work (Chaab Yourid, You will never walk alone, Beneath the Yasmine, stories of repressions) that question the legacy of the institutionalized violence put in place by the former dictatorship, the traces of which persist on bodies and mentalities.

I turned to photojournalism and joined the REA agency in 2013. Alongside my work as an author and on commissions for press magazine, I work with international organisations specializing in human rights, social rights and environment, for whom he develops various impact campaigns.

Since 2021, I direct short documentary films and series (Stambeli, dernière danse des esprits, Hors Lits , Jardin d’Afrique). Now based in France, I continue my work as a photographer while holding a number of artistic director positions with international medias and organisations about audiovisual and editorial impact projects (Inkyfada, Expertise France, Pan African Music, etc.).

In 2024, I moved back to France, between the West coast and Marseille. I continue to travel around the Mediterranean.
