I was born in Paris in 1947.
I have a master in photography and since 1972 I have worked as an author-photographer, specialist in
large format photography (4x5" and 8x10"), in panoramic and panoscopic cameras.
I also work on advertising photography : still life, portraits, industrial reportage.
Until 2005 I have tought photography at Paris VIII University for over 20 years.
