I am an amateur photographer and I am seldom without my handy little Micro 4/3 camera. My initial preference and training was with analogue black and white photography and I still shoot most of my pictures with monochrome in mind. On my daily walks, I want to capture the essence of my surroundings and the people within. I love diversity in work, life and all my encounters. Born in Paris, France, I started my career in biology, working in research in Alabama (USA) before moving back to France to the northern town of Lille. A few years later, my heart brought me to a small town south German town in the region bordering France and Switzerland. I'm a french conversation teacher which allows me time to combine life with my passions for writing and photography.
