New drone remote pilot activity

During the year 2020, the covid crisis and the difficulties in traveling had direct consequences on my professional activity and in particular with regard to photo courses. To bounce back, I invested in a drone and took training to learn to be a professional drone remote pilot to get clearance with the air authorities. On this website it is possible to discover this new activity.

2020 Cancellation of the Rencontres d'Arles

Since 1978, I have always been present to attend the various exhibitions and evenings at the festival of photography “Les Rencontres d’Arles”, it’s easy, I live here. but this year, as with many other festivals, the “Rencontres d Arles ” are cancelled.

In this time of confinement, no meetings of photographers “place du Forum” or at the roman Theâtre Antique, no exhibitions, no sharing or animated debates in front of a disconcerting work.

It’s a pity for the photo, for the creation, for all my faithful friends who come every year and for all these meetings that won’t take place: but it’s in tune with the times… and I regret it.

I invite you to discover some photos gleaned over the years during the “Rencontres d Arles”

Publication in United Kingdom

I met in July 2017  the English photographer Roger Hicksduring “Les Rencontres d’Arles”. He was a “so British” character with a white beard and a monocle. He accepted to discover my images gathered in a Portfolio. it is with great interest and deep sympathy that he looked at my work “Traces de Vie”. He finaly decided to publish a photo, at the end of October 2017, in the English magazine “Amateur Photographer” for which he worked.

Espace Van Gogh

In 2010, I was welcomed as resident artist at the Espace Van Gogh in Arles.
There are still traces of my time there on my own space on my Youtube channel

I lead photography courses in Fontvieille. Different points are dealt : how to get started with the camera, shoot and practice phototourism in emblematic places of “my” Provence (Arles, Saint Rémy de Provence, Avignon, the Camargue… ) The course continues with managing and editing your images. It is a really complete method.
