A Franco-Algerian photographer born in 1972, I grew up in Algiers before moving to Paris in the 1990s. After graduating from ETPA School of Audiovisual in Rennes, I joined the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris where I became the audiovisual manager until 1996. I then worked as a sound designer (sound and motion graphic design). Since the late 2000s, my work has been entirely dedicated to photography. While continuing my collaboration with non-profit organizations and magazines covering health and social topics, I'm currently concentrating on my personal projects. My work defines my identity as well as my approach as a photographer: capturing scenes of everyday life, interactions, individuals, emotions in mundane spaces. Unity of place, unity of time, a form of equality. My photographs depict reality, a tug-of-war between my imagination and reality. Reflections of my own questions, they express my longing to be surprised by and reconcile with other human beings.
