I worked as a model for nearly a decade and was frustrated with the superficial images constantly created of me. I began taking self-portraits during that time as a way to create images of how I actually saw myself. I wanted to create authentic, honest, raw images, and shooting on film and not retouching my photos was the best way for me to do that.

I had worked with film for a brief period of time at the start of my career, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I re-discovered it and decided to completely make the switch from digital. This also came at a point in my career where my focus was starting to shift from creating ‘traditional’ landscape images to the work I’m capturing now.

‏I discovered engraving when I went to the École des Beaux-arts de Nancy. I soon recognised an opportunity to make the most of my taste for drawing and I rapidly became a ‘fan’. Engraving is a captivating artistic field with a wealth of various technical possibilities. What interests me in my work is the freedom to explore the endless options provided by drawing.
