I find beauty in everyone—not the kind you see in magazines, but the kind that is uniquely yours.
Over the years, I have learned to feel comfortable with all kinds of people, to listen without judgment, and to observe. To recognise the moment when someone begins to relax.
In those first few minutes, a face is rarely quite at ease. So we talk. I take a few photographs, without making too much of it. Gradually, the camera fades into the background.
Your gaze softens. Your shoulders relax. You stop thinking about the photograph.
That is often where a portrait begins. In a moment that reveals something of who you are.
Beyond familiar poses, I want to reveal the person behind the image. I would rather capture a face that tells a story than create a technically flawless photograph.
I am not looking for perfection.
I am looking for what is real.
I work in and around Toulouse, without a set location in mind. An interior, a street, a landscape: the place matters less than what it allows to emerge.
I love the idea that a portrait can stay with you long after we have met. That it will still feel like you, years from now.
And that, when you leave, you might almost have forgotten you came for a portrait.
Marine.
Portraiture, beyond the expected.
