UMBRA — The Drift
There is a weariness in showing too much.
An erosion of the gaze, under constant flux.
I chose the long form.
The image that runs after no one.
The one found by chance.
Creating is no longer a goal.
It is a breath.
A pleasure without a calendar.
Shadow does not seek light.
It reveals it.
What is here needs no proof.
Only a gaze that lingers.
January 2026
Muséales is currently in print test.
Holding the book in hand is a particular moment.
It forces a slower pace,
a different kind of attention,
an acceptance of what remains
and what disappears.

At the same time, the second volume of Umbra is in preparation.
It continues this exploration, no longer through shadow,
but through time —
the kind that moves through stone
while we pass.

Nothing is fixed yet.
The work continues.
The work continues.
December 2025 – “Muséales” photobook (work in progress)
I am currently working on a photobook project around Parisian museums, tentatively titled “Muséales”.
The book will bring together images from Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre and other institutions, focusing on intimate, silent scenes rather than grand touristic views.

Most of the photographs come from my ongoing series “Échos de pierre”, started at Orsay and later extended to the Louvre.
More to come here as the project takes shape.
November 2025 – New works from the Louvre
After starting “Échos de pierre” at Musée d’Orsay, I have begun to photograph the Louvre with the same approach: quiet moments, strong geometry, and deep black and white.
These images extend the project beyond a single museum, keeping the same visual language and mood.
October 2025 – “Échos de pierre” at Musée d’Orsay
“Échos de pierre” started as a long-term series at Musée d’Orsay, exploring the dialogue between stone, light, and the quiet presence of visitors.
This body of work opens the “Échos de pierre” section on the website and will evolve over time as I return to the museum, often with my 85mm lens.
