Biography

I really believe that, if you want to give emotion, through music or photography, you must feel a real sadness or a real happiness. If you want to GIVE emotion, you must FEEL emotion. You cannot make people feel something if you don't feel something yourself ! A picture or a melody will say what's inside your heart, not inside your brain... There is thousand tales to be told.

Digital cameras remind me the Polaroïd... We all knew that it was less qualitative than classic film, but we could have the result immediately.

It is difficult not to fall in love with a beautiful girl you are filming when you see her in your camera's eyepiece, where there is only the shutter's mirror between you and her.

I've been told that, when you shoot on film, the choice of the camera does not affect the quality of the images you create. But I respectfully disagree. Of course film cameras does not have a direct effect on the reaction of light on your emulsion through your lens, but the way you feel with your camera in your hands does affect the quality of your frames, specially in handhelds configurations. If we compare to something everybody can understand, if you have a slippery screwdriver in your hands, it will affect the way you work with. Simple. I never feel better than with an XL2 on my shoulder. It just make sense. Clear eyepiece, perfect balance, sweet sound.
