Born and based in Paris (France) , I started photographing several decades ago as a street photographer. Henri Cartier Bresson was my main source of inspiration among many others. As a senior TV reporter for French television, I covered breaking news for 30 years around the world. During or outside my Tv shoots, I always had a photo camera along me to take street photography as a hobby. I have done several exhibitions in the past with one of my favorite themes, the beach and those who frequent it. In contrast to urban chaos, the beach offers the photographer a generally bare environment. Whether it's bathers playing, or divings acrobats jumping into the water, all the summer visitors tell stories of which I collect fragments.
