My Sixth sense

I used to work with the best photographer in Paris and the Caribbean. Already then, so much of my time was spent doing what remains a key element of my job: “designing images”.

Living in the Caribbean, where the sky is always blue and the light is always perfect, has helped me enhance my own photography with the gifts of nature.

But this is just the beginning: I derive so much pleasure from being behind my Canon, and I profit so much from having the most beautiful of models, my wife…

Below you will find some examples of the work created with my “sixth sense” on the bottom on this page or via these links below:
