Holding a Bsc in marine science, my studies and internships have given me specific knowledge in sciences and other domains such as oceanography, data processing, marine biology, photography or computer science, and also a relevant technical experience with a lot of field work. The wide variety of domains studied provides me with autonomy and an adaptable capacity for work.
After university I have started to work as a navigator. I traveled around the world to uncommon location such as Angola, Madagascar, Mozambique, Shetland island , Norway where I met talented people from a wide variety of fields.
Indeed I’ have always worked within a team, with people from different country and different culture. I’ think I’ m a good team player with a willingness to jump in and help whenever necessary. All of these experiences have given me a high degree of independence, and the ability to work in different conditions.
All this different experiences were also a great opportunity to improve my photography skills as I made several photography for myself and for the companies I worked for.
For instance when I was at the university, one of my project was about digital photography, as a navigator I have provided photography for the Nautech calendar, and a virtual tour on the ship ramform sterling for the Norwegian seismic company PGS, I have also provided images for french scientific institute Ifremer to illustrate an article on a magazine.
Some of my windsurfing pictures have also been published in different windsurfing magazine ( WindMag, World of Windsurf).
All theses experiences as a photographer on my free time encouraged me to become a professional photographer
