ABOUT
The essence of life lies in the journey, not the destination
Born in September 1991 in the sunlit south of Spain and raised in France, I am a photographer whose journey is defined by resilience, exploration, and creativity. After studying sales and communication with a focus on real estate, I found myself drawn to the visual arts, sparking a pivot toward graphic design and visual communication. Although my application to the Toulouse School of Fine Arts was unsuccessful, this setback became the foundation for my artistic path.
In search of growth and new perspectives, I ventured to New Zealand to learn English and cultivate a burgeoning passion for photography. This transformative experience ignited a lifelong creative pursuit. Upon returning to France, I began honing my craft while working as a receptionist at a luxury five-star hotel, balancing artistry and hospitality with determination.
A new chapter began when I relocated to Montreal to pursue formal training in commercial photography. There, I earned my diploma and was honored with the Best Portfolio Award. My dedication and unique vision led to international recognition, including the SONY Emerging Photographer of the Year 2016/2017 award for a fashion project captured in Iceland.
In the years that followed, my work continued to flourish. A double-page spread in PHOTO magazine in 2018 and a role as a broncolor Gen Next ambassador solidified my place in the photography world. Iceland became a recurring backdrop for my creative projects, including an editorial for Vogue Arabia.
​
In 2020, I began leading private photography workshops and sightseeing tours, sharing my deep love for nature and photography with fellow enthusiasts. Building on this passion, in June 2023, I co-founded a private tour company with a close friend, naming it Arctic Journeys. Together, we offer bespoke photo tours in Jeeps, combining adventure, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the Arctic’s breathtaking landscapes. My most recent achievement—being named one of the Top 101 International Landscape Photographers of the Year in 2023—reflects my ongoing commitment to exploring and sharing the beauty of the natural world.
